If a baby has a high fever, I believe many mothers will feel worried, especially novice mothers who do not know how to take care of their baby. If the fever is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner and use the correct method to reduce the fever, so as not to delay the best treatment time. So, what should I do if a three-year-old and four month old baby has a high fever?
One is physical cooling. When a three-year-old and four month old baby has a high fever, physical cooling can be used first to reduce the fever. The mother first wipes the baby's body with a hot towel and applies a fever reducing patch on the forehead. If the condition does not improve, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination in a timely manner, identify the cause, and then follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
The second is medication treatment. If a three-year-old or four month old baby has a high fever, fever reducing drugs can be taken appropriately. It is also necessary to give the baby plenty of water, which can help the body sweat and prevent dehydration caused by excessive water loss. Drinking more water can also lower the body temperature and replenish the baby's body's hydration.
The third is to maintain air circulation. The environment where the baby lives should have air circulation, and the indoor temperature should be kept between 25 and 27 degrees. The blanket of Baobao should not be too thick or too thin, and the clothes should be loose and not too tight, otherwise it may worsen the baby's condition. If the baby has a high fever for a long time without improvement or if the baby has a high fever, it is important to pay more attention and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
