A baby's weak digestive system is actually a normal phenomenon, as their various bodily functions are still developing and require some time to improve. Therefore, the baby's ability to digest and absorb bacteria and viruses is still relatively poor. So now let's learn how to cool down a baby's diarrhea and fever?
Baby diarrhea usually does not cause fever. Only when the baby's diarrhea is caused by fungal infection can it cause fever. This requires understanding the cause of the baby's diarrhea. Generally, inflammation in the intestines can lead to the appearance of fever symptoms. When a baby has a fever, parents should give them more water to drink.
If the baby's body temperature is not higher than 38.5 degrees, parents can help the baby with physical cooling. You can apply a wet towel on your baby's forehead, give them a hot bath, and also help them cool down. Alternatively, wiping the palms or soles of the feet, inner thighs, back of the neck, and other areas with alcohol can have a cooling effect. Fever below 38.5 degrees does not require antipyretic medication. Mild fever can enhance a baby's immunity and strengthen their immune system.
If the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, parents should give the baby antipyretic medicine, or take the baby to the hospital and, under the guidance of a doctor, give the baby anti-inflammatory drugs. Generally, once the inflammation subsides, the fever will naturally subside. Most importantly, drink plenty of water. Drinking water can not only prevent dehydration in babies, but also take away some of the body's heat, playing a role in reducing fever.
