Due to their poor immune system, babies often get sick, and some may even have fever after more than 9 months. It is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and cannot choose medication on their own. It is possible to use Ancestor Anze's physical fever reduction method before going to the hospital. Below, we will introduce how to deal with fever in 9-month-old babies.
1、 What should I do if my baby has a fever at nine months old
1. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, simply use physical cooling and wipe the baby's entire body with warm water, especially under the armpits, forehead, and groin, to increase heat dissipation. Keep the water temperature at around 40 degrees Celsius, not lower than the baby's body temperature when they have a fever. Another way is to encourage babies to drink more water, increase urination, and defecate regularly, with the aim of accelerating the metabolism of bacteria in the baby's body. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is recommended to seek medical attention and take medication to cool down.
2. Head cold and wet compress: Soak a soft towel in cold water at 20 ℃ -30 ℃, squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping, fold it and place it on the forehead. Replace it every 3-5 minutes.
3. Head ice pillow: Fill the ice bag with small ice cubes and a small amount of water until it is half full, release the air inside the bag, press the bag tightly, and place it on the pillow after there is no water leakage.
4. Warm water wiping or warm water bath: Use a warm and damp towel to wipe the child's head, armpits, limbs, or take a warm bath, scrub the skin more often, and promote heat dissipation.
5. Alcohol bath: suitable for high heat and cooling. Prepare 200-300 milliliters of 20% -35% alcohol and rub the limbs and back.
The above content is about how to cool down after a baby has a fever. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling can be used. However, it should be clear that it is caused by the above reasons. Fever is only a symptom, and some are caused by colds or other inflammations. It is necessary to treat it accordingly and drink plenty of water.
