If a person's body temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius, it is quite dangerous, especially for younger babies. When a fever occurs, it is necessary to measure the baby's body temperature more. Once it exceeds 38 degrees Celsius or even 38 degrees Celsius, the fever should be reduced as soon as possible. So how to reduce a baby's fever of 38.5?
If the baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is best to give the baby some fever reducing medication and then take the medication according to the specific cause of the baby's fever, in order to fundamentally reduce the fever. In addition, when taking antipyretic medication, if the baby still has a fever after taking it three times, they should be taken to the hospital for treatment to avoid causing more serious problems in the baby's body.
When the baby experiences such high temperatures at night, physical methods can be used to cool them down. Physical methods can involve wiping the baby's forehead, armpits, legs, and wrists with warm water. You can also pour the baby into a hot tub to take a bath, both of which can have a fever reducing effect.
After the fever subsides, it is also important to observe the baby's body temperature in a timely manner. When measuring body temperature, it is best to use a mercury thermometer, which is more accurate. During the fever reduction period, try not to let the baby go to windy places. If there is inflammation in the body, anti-inflammatory drugs must be taken to recover. If it is caused by food accumulation, the fever must wait until it disappears before it can completely disappear.
