Don’t rush to reduce the fever after your child has a fever. Fever is just a signal that there is something wrong with the body, and the child’s body is fighting bacteria. Fever is an indicator of the development of a child's illness. Here I will introduce several methods to reduce fever.
Drinking more warm water is the most basic way to cool down, and it is very effective for all babies with fever. Your throat will feel uncomfortable when you have a fever. Drinking water is very important at this time. Drinking water Can help the body dissipate heat. Wiping the body with warm water can help dissipate heat and is suitable for children of all ages. The water temperature is best controlled at 32 to 34 degrees Celsius, and the best time for each wipe is about 10 minutes. For children with high temperatures, warm water baths can be used.
You can use antipyretic patches to reduce fever, but the area of the antipyretic patch is small and the antipyretic effect is relatively limited. It will feel more comfortable for children with high fever, and it can only play an auxiliary cooling role. It is best not to use fever-reducing patches on children with chills. Alcohol wipes dissipate heat. Alcohol has strong permeability and is easily absorbed through the skin. It may cause symptoms of alcohol poisoning, easily cause capillary contraction and prevent the body from dissipating heat. It is best not to use it for smaller babies.
When the baby has a fever, pay attention to the adjustment of the indoor temperature. It is best to keep the indoor temperature at around 26 degrees Celsius. A comfortable temperature can make the baby feel more comfortable. Do not put too many clothes on the baby, otherwise it will affect the baby's health. The baby's body dissipates heat. When the baby's temperature rises during fever, you should pay attention to keep warm, but it is not advisable to dress the baby too thickly. Drinking more water when your baby has a fever can promote urination, promote the evaporation of skin water, promote the body's metabolism, and play a role in heat dissipation. If there is insufficient water in the body, it will be difficult to lower the body temperature if antipyretics are used in time. Therefore, during the fever period, the mother should give the baby more warm water to help the baby's body dissipate heat. During the period of fever, the baby should pay attention to rest more, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the disease. If the baby can sleep well when he is sick, his body will feel more relaxed. In addition, the baby's energy will also recover. It is best to let the baby rest in bed during the fever period, and it is best not to take the baby to play outdoors.
