  1. If a baby has a fever, they should reduce their clothing and avoid wearing too thick. They should also not cover themselves with too many blankets when sleeping at night. This method of covering sweat is not very effective and can actually worsen the fever. Moderate reduction of clothing and blankets can help reduce the fever.

  2. Encourage your baby to drink plenty of water. Drinking water can make your baby sweat, which helps to dissipate heat and lower body temperature, while also replenishing the body's lack of water.

  3. You can apply cold compress to your baby. This method is very simple. Use a not too hot towel to apply to your baby's forehead, and wait until the towel heats up before reapplying.

  4. Wipe the whole body, using warm water to wipe the baby's whole body can increase the speed of heat dissipation, but be careful not to use overheated or excessive water, and be careful not to let the baby catch a cold.

  After a fever, cough symptoms often accompany it, which is a complication that is easy to occur. Therefore, when a baby has a fever, it is necessary to take timely measures to reduce the fever. You can choose these physical methods to reduce the fever. After reducing the fever, the cough symptoms will also be well relieved.
