In winter, whenever a baby has a fever, many parents will quickly wrap the baby tightly inside and outside, then give the baby a bowl of ginger soup, carry it back to the room, and cover it with a big blanket. Many parents believe that if their baby has a fever, they will be very afraid of the cold, so wearing more clothing will prevent them from getting cold; Some parents believe that when their baby has a fever, covering them with a cotton blanket is to cover their sweat, and that only sweating can reduce the fever. Can a baby's winter fever be covered?
Babies with winter fever should not be covered with cotton quilts. Due to fever and sweating, sometimes the baby's body temperature can be raised, which can also lead to baby heat syndrome and trigger high fever convulsions in the baby. This situation occurs because when the baby has high fever, the circulation in the limbs will deteriorate, causing the head to become hot and the hands and feet to become cold. Blindly adding clothes and blankets to children is not good.
In winter, if a baby has a fever, it is not enough to just focus on covering them with a blanket or wearing more clothes. Instead, the clothes worn by the baby should be slightly loosened to allow the baby's body to dissipate heat, but the baby's hands and feet should be kept warm appropriately.
When Baobao starts to have a fever, parents should use certain physical methods to cool down the baby. They can reduce the amount of clothing and blankets for the baby, fill a basin with warm water, and slowly wipe the baby's body with a towel. If this method cannot effectively cool down, parents should take their baby to the hospital immediately and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
