Fever is a normal symptom for everyone, and it is also a common illness for children. However, for parents, if a child has a fever, it is a very difficult thing because they need to help their baby reduce the fever and pay attention to their condition. So, how can a baby's fever be physically cooled down?
After the baby shows symptoms of fever, physical cooling can be performed by feeding the baby on the forehead, applying fever reducing patches, and wiping the armpits, forehead, and other areas with warm water to effectively cool down. It is also necessary to give the baby antipyretic medication, and pay attention to drinking more water to promote the excretion of toxins in the body. In terms of diet, light and easily digestible foods should be the main focus, and sufficient sleep should be ensured.
But if the baby has a fever exceeding 38. If the temperature is 5 degrees, simple physical cooling may not be able to cool down. It is best to take antipyretic medication orally and then combine it with physical cooling. You can apply a antipyretic patch to the child, and then wipe the body, armpits, palms, and soles of the feet with warm water. These areas must be wiped, and paying attention to heat dissipation can also help reduce fever, or you can use alcohol to wipe them. If necessary, go to the pediatric department of the hospital for a blood routine check to see if there is any infection, in order to receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to balanced nutrition in daily life, supplement calcium, protein, vitamins, etc., and keep warm.
