Cold and fever are quite common in daily life, especially for babies. Their body's resistance is relatively weak. If the mother is slightly negligent in taking care of them, it is very likely to cause fever. So what should we do if the baby has a fever of 37.1 degrees?
37.1 degrees is within the normal range, and the baby's body temperature may fluctuate throughout the day because the baby's ability to regulate body temperature is not very stable. Compared to adults, the body temperature is higher. If the baby's mental state is good and there is no unexplained crying, no measures need to be taken, but it is important to give the baby plenty of water.
Mothers are very anxious when their babies have a fever. If the body temperature continues to rise and exceeds 37.5 degrees, it is necessary to cool down the baby. It is best to choose a physical cooling method, such as wiping the baby's body with warm water. During this period, it is necessary to regularly measure the baby's body temperature. If the baby suddenly has a high fever at night, cold compress can be used to achieve the cooling effect. Repeat this action until the fever subsides.
Many parents will use antipyretic patches for their babies, but because the area of antipyretic patches is relatively small and has certain limitations, it may feel more comfortable for babies with high fever, but this can only be used as an auxiliary measure. Wiping the baby's body with warm water is an effective cooling method that is suitable for babies of all ages. The water temperature should be kept at around 33 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it is not easy for the baby to accept.
