As a young group in a family, the physical condition of babies is particularly concerned. With the constant change of seasons and unpredictable weather, babies have weak immunity and are particularly prone to catching colds and fever. Some babies often have recurrent fever, so parents need to pay special attention and be vigilant. What should I do when my baby has a fever?
What should I do when my baby has a fever
1、 Drink plenty of water.
After the baby has a fever, mothers should give the baby plenty of water. Water evaporation can reduce the heat on the baby's body and lower the temperature. If the baby replenishes enough water, other cooling methods will be more effective.
2、 The method of physical cooling.
When a child has a fever, physical cooling methods should be taken first. Babies whose body temperature is rising may feel cold, so it is recommended to use a hot towel to wipe the palms and soles of their feet. Afterwards, if the baby's body is no longer cold, they can use a cold towel to wipe it or apply antipyretic patches to the baby. After the body temperature drops, use a towel to dry the baby's sweat and avoid catching a cold. But when it is found that the baby's body temperature is rising rapidly, reaching 38 degrees, it is time to give the baby medication to cool down. If you do not know how to use the medication, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
3、 Seek medical attention promptly.
Baby fever symptoms can often be treated on their own without major problems, but some babies may experience fever as a manifestation of certain diseases. Mothers need to take their babies for timely medical treatment and seek help from doctors.
