Both adults and babies will have normal body temperature values. For babies, the normal body temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius. If the baby's body temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it indicates that the baby may have a fever. Mom can first measure the baby's temperature, which is 39.5 degrees Celsius. So what should a three-year-old baby do if they have a fever of 39.5 degrees?
1. Drink plenty of water
The baby has a fever of 39.5 degrees, and the mother should let the baby drink more water. No matter what illness you have, supplementing with water appropriately is very helpful for the condition. Now the baby has a fever of 39.5 degrees, which is already a high fever. When a high fever occurs, the baby's body will lose a lot of water. If a mother does not give her baby water in a timely manner, it can easily lead to a lack of water in the baby's body, which is not conducive to their health.
2. Wipe with warm water
Warm water wiping is very effective. As long as the baby's temperature exceeds 39 degrees, the mother can use warm water to wipe the baby's body. The method of wiping with warm water is very simple. First, let the baby lie flat on the bed. Prepare a pot of warm water and put the towel in it. Take out the towel, and the mother will put it on the baby's body to wipe it. The fever reducing effect is very obvious.
3. Close observation of body temperature
Now that the baby has a severe fever, the mother needs to closely monitor the baby's temperature changes. After taking measures to reduce fever, it is necessary to measure the baby's temperature more frequently. Check if the baby's temperature has dropped. If the baby's temperature has dropped, it indicates that fever reduction measures are effective. Continue to take fever reducing measures for the baby to restore their body temperature to the normal range.
