Fever in babies is a very common phenomenon. Because at this time, the baby's physical development in all aspects is not yet fully developed. Therefore, it is easy to get sick, so parents should take good care of their babies and pay more attention to their physical health. So, what should I do if my child has a fever and burns their hands?
1. Apply hot compress. If the child's body temperature is not very high, it is recommended to use hot compress to reduce the fever. You can use a hot towel to repeatedly wipe the child's limbs and forehead, which can help the body dissipate heat until the fever subsides. If the child's body temperature rises above 39 degrees, do not use hot compress to reduce the fever. At this time, cold compress should be used to prevent the body temperature from continuing to rise.
2. Apply cold compress. If the baby has a high fever, it is recommended that parents use hot compress to help the child lower their body temperature. A cold towel can be placed on the child's calf, forehead, and wrist, while other parts can be covered with clothing. The towel should also be changed in a timely manner. You can also put some ice cubes on top of the bag and apply them to the child's forehead.
3. Supplement fluids, because babies lose a lot of water when they have a fever. If too much water is lost, it will prevent the child's body from dissipating heat. Therefore, parents should supplement fluids for their children and let them drink some fruit and vegetable juice or warm water, which contains some minerals and vitamins.
