Babies have relatively low immunity and resistance, so they are prone to fever after getting sick. When the baby's fever does not exceed 38 degrees, physical cooling can be achieved. If it exceeds 38 degrees, medication should be used to cool down, and the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Cold compress is a physical cooling method. Can a baby with a fever of 37.1 degrees apply cold compress?
A baby with a fever of 37.1 degrees belongs to low temperature. At this time, physical cooling can be used, and a cold compress can be applied to the baby. However, it should be noted that cold compress patches only have a cooling effect and do not have a therapeutic effect. There is a reason for a baby's fever, and it is necessary to find the cause and treat the disease in a timely manner in order to completely reduce the fever.
Cold compress patches are not irritating to the baby's skin and are a very safe way to reduce fever. They can be used when the baby has a fever. If the baby's fever exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, in addition to taking medication, cold compress patches can also be used to assist in reducing the fever. After the baby's fever subsides, they will sweat a lot, and at this time, parents need to replenish their baby's fluids.
In general, a child with a fever of 37.1 degrees can use cold compress patches, but it is still necessary to promptly identify the cause of the fever and seek timely treatment. Parents need to change their baby's clothes in a timely manner after the fever subsides to avoid the baby catching a cold due to sweat.
