Ice pillow, as the name suggests, is a pillow made of ice and cold. It is much cooler than traditional pillowcases and seems to be a good cooling product, especially in hot summer when children are prone to heat rash. Therefore, this type of pillow with different patterns and a cool touch has been favored by many parents and friends. Can children use ice pillows?
The common ice pillows on the market are mostly made of soft and smooth fabrics, with pillows made of materials such as liquid and sponge inside. Whether held in the hand or placed on the head, they make people feel "cool down". However, not everyone can use them, especially children who need to use them carefully because their physical functions are not yet fully developed and their resistance is weaker than adults. Using ice pillows is easy for cold air to enter the body. If they sleep on them for a long time, it may have adverse effects on their health.
Patients with fever can use ice pillows to cool down, but they should be careful not to touch the area below the shoulders. When using, it is best to place a thick towel on the shoulders to keep warm and protect them. However, due to the poor adjustment ability of the elderly and infants, it is best not to use ice pillows.
In summary, ice pillows can be used selectively, but sleeping on them is not a recommended way to cool down and relieve heat. Despite the hot weather, it is still important to maintain a normal sleep pattern and not blindly "cool down" for temporary comfort.
