The baby's ability to regulate body temperature is not yet perfect, and it is prone to fever due to some internal and external adverse factors. If there is a high fever, effective fever reduction measures must be taken to avoid complications caused by prolonged high fever. So, how can a baby with a fever of 39 degrees physically cool down?
1. When a baby has a fever of 39 ℃ and needs to undergo physical cooling, various measures can be taken. Firstly, it is necessary to reduce the amount of baby clothing and bedding that are too thick, and not cover them too tightly. It is important to promote ventilation and heat dissipation. This can lower the body surface temperature and improve symptoms of high fever.
2. Parents can also prepare a basin of warm water and use a clean cotton towel to wipe the baby's body with warm water. This physical cooling method can help dissipate heat in the body and also have a certain auxiliary fever reducing effect on babies with high fever symptoms.
3. If the indoor temperature is suitable, you can also give the baby a warm bath, which has a relatively better effect on relieving high fever symptoms. However, parents need to be aware that babies have tender and thin skin. When using warm water for wiping or bathing, alcohol should not be added, and physical cooling methods such as alcohol wiping should not be used directly.
4. In addition, physical cooling can only be used as an auxiliary fever reduction measure. If a baby has a high fever of 39 ℃, it is necessary to use some fever reducing drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. At the same time, it is important to encourage the baby to drink plenty of warm water and strengthen breastfeeding to ensure adequate hydration and avoid dehydration.
