Many parents are worried about a fever in their children. Compared to symptoms such as runny nose, the impact of a fever is relatively greater. It not only affects the child's appetite, but also causes a large loss of water in the body, and in severe cases, can even have a significant impact on lung health. So, how to quickly reduce fever in children?
When a child has a fever and wants it to subside quickly, they can first take a warm bath. The water temperature should be around 40 degrees Celsius, which is generally considered good. However, it is still necessary to consider the specific temperature of the child's fever. If the child's fever belongs to high fever, such as 39 degrees Celsius, taking a warm bath is an auxiliary way to reduce fever.
Taking a warm bath can reduce fever because water evaporates, which lowers body temperature. If a child has a fever of 39 degrees, they can be given some antipyretic medication. This method is not suitable for all children with fever and can only be used for high fever. It is important to pay attention to this and consult a doctor in a timely manner to determine the medication to be taken.
However, when giving antipyretic drugs to children with fever, it is still important to pay attention to the dosage. If the dosage is not appropriate, it can lead to a decrease in the child's body temperature. Once a child's body temperature drops significantly, parents must pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise low body temperature is not conducive to the child's health. This is something to be aware of.
