The virus is too powerful now, and people with poor physical condition can easily get infected. Some people say that if they have a cold or fever, they can just cover it with a blanket and sweat. But some fevers are not caused by wind and cold, but by inflammation and bacterial infections in the body. It's not just about sweating that can solve the problem. So, is it right to cover a fever with a blanket and sweat?
Is it correct to cover a fever with a blanket and sweat
1. It's best not to, as this is the most painful way. When experiencing fever symptoms, the first thing to do is to keep your body warm. It's best to take antipyretic medication, which can effectively reduce fever within ten minutes without any side effects.
2. During a fever, pathogenic bacteria rapidly multiply in the body. While reducing fever, antibacterial treatment is also necessary. Fever symptoms are generally caused by inflammation and require anti-inflammatory treatment. For example, a cold caused by wind and cold can first cause upper respiratory tract infections, such as sinusitis and pharyngitis. These inflammations can cause symptoms such as fever and headache. Treating fever symptoms alone is not enough, and anti-inflammatory treatment is also necessary.
How to reduce fever
1. If you have a low-grade fever, you should first drink plenty of water, preferably plain water. Pour water from a large cup and drink until you can no longer drink. Use the bathroom a few more times, and the physical virus will have been partially eliminated from your body; Then you can also boil ginger sugar water at home, slice or chop the ginger and add brown sugar to boil it, drink it while it's hot, and then sweat when sleeping. This method is not effective when the fever is not severe at the beginning.
2. You can use physical cooling method, pour warm water, soak a towel in warm water, wipe the body, especially the forehead, armpits, palms and soles of the feet. If you have a fever, you must take measures as soon as possible. If the previous tests have not improved, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Do not misuse antibiotics or take antipyretic drugs indiscriminately.
If the fever is severe after a fever, you can take antipyretic medicine or undergo physical cooling. You can use alcohol to wipe your palms and body, or place a cool towel on your forehead to effectively reduce the fever. Drink plenty of water in daily life and work, wear a mask when going out to prevent some bacteria and viruses from infecting you, and exercise more to enhance your own resistance.
