A baby's fever is a very tricky thing, and a high degree of fever can cause many complications, so mothers will be extremely worried. In this situation, the mother will definitely find a way to cool down the baby. But sometimes if the temperature drops too much, it can also cause the baby's body temperature to be too low. What if the baby's body temperature drops to 35.5 degrees after a high fever?
If the baby's body temperature is below 36.5 degrees, it is caused by excessive cooling. Mothers should immediately stop using antipyretic drugs for the baby, otherwise the baby's body temperature will continue to drop, which is very dangerous. What should be done at this time is to pay attention to keeping the baby warm. You can give the baby thicker clothes or let the indoor temperature be higher. Don't worry too much, Mom. After a while, the baby's temperature will gradually return to normal.
In order to prevent the baby from having a low body temperature, mothers should not blindly use antipyretic drugs for their baby when they have a fever. Before taking antipyretic medication, it is advisable to consult a doctor for the specific dosage. If excessive doses of medication are given to babies, it may lead to hypothermia. After the baby's body temperature returns to normal, stop using antipyretics.
If the general body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, it is not recommended to use antipyretics for babies. In this case, physical methods can be used to cool down. Mothers can use warm water to give their babies a bath, then apply a fever reducing patch on their forehead, and their body temperature can slowly decrease.
