Every baby will not grow up smoothly, and it is inevitable that they will get sick during the long process of growth. Fever is something that most babies will experience. If a mother does not have rich parenting experience, she will not be able to cope well when her baby has a fever. How to deal with the baby's high fever of 40 degrees?
1. Medication for fever reduction
The baby's fever has reached 40 degrees, which is already a high fever. At this time, the mother must give the baby antipyretic medicine in a timely manner. The use of medicine can have a better effect on reducing fever and help the baby cool down as soon as possible. Because high fever is very dangerous, it can cause many diseases such as meningitis, polio, etc., and even damage the baby's auditory nerves and vocal cords, leading to deaf and mute disabilities.
2. Go to the hospital to check the cause of the fever
If most babies have a fever due to a cold, the degree will not be so high. The high degree of fever in the baby is likely caused by other diseases. Therefore, when the baby has a fever of 40, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital in a timely manner, investigate the cause of the fever in a timely manner, and avoid delaying the condition.
3. Physical assisted cooling
While administering medication to the baby to cool down, some physical cooling methods should also be used to assist. You can apply antipyretic patches to your baby's forehead and wipe their body with a cold towel to remove excess heat from their body. You can also use alcohol to wipe the baby's hands and feet, or soak the baby in a hot bath, which can effectively assist in reducing fever.
