As is well known, infants' resistance is not very good, especially during seasonal changes when they are prone to catching colds and fever. When a baby gets sick, parents will be very worried, worried that giving the baby medicine will have side effects, and if not treated, the condition will become more and more serious. So, how to physically treat a baby's fever?
There are many methods to physically reduce fever, and the most common one is to use a warm towel to wipe the baby's body. It is recommended to prepare a clean towel, soak it in warm water, wring out the towel, and then gently wipe the baby's forehead, armpits, and other areas, usually every 20 minutes, to cool down.
If there is a fever reducing patch, it can be applied to the baby's forehead, which can also have a cooling effect and alleviate the discomfort caused by fever to the baby. When the baby's fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees, parents do not need to rush to feed fever medicine. Generally, physical cooling is used first to relieve the symptoms.
After a baby has a fever, the rate of water loss in the body is very fast, so it is necessary to replenish water in a timely manner. It is necessary to encourage babies to drink more water, or they can use fresh fruit juice to drink. This can not only replenish water, but also timely supplement vitamins, promoting faster recovery from diseases. After a baby has a fever, their appetite is not good, and their diet should be mainly light.
