The child's body is very weak, and they are prone to fever, coughing, etc. when they are young. When a child has a fever, it is necessary to measure their temperature on time. If the temperature is too high, it may burn the child's brain, so it is important to reduce the fever in a timely manner. So what if a child's persistent high fever of 40 degrees does not subside?
A high fever of 40 degrees Celsius is very dangerous for children, so parents need to take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. If you have a high fever of 40 degrees, you need to first use antipyretic drugs to cool down, then investigate the specific cause of the fever, and actively treat it accordingly. Most antipyretics can temporarily cool down in a timely manner, and frequent use is not recommended. Treatment should be based on the cause to alleviate fever.
During a fever, parents also need to use physical cooling methods to assist in cooling their children. Parents can give their children a warm bath and pay attention to controlling the indoor temperature to prevent them from catching a cold. Parents should use hot water to wipe their children's armpits, neck, chest, thigh roots, etc., which will have a good heat dissipation effect.
Soaking feet can also improve fever reduction. It is recommended to soak feet for about 20 minutes, which can make the body sweat quickly and cause the body temperature to drop rapidly. During a fever, parents should give their children plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Don't give your child too rich food during fever. You can eat some porridge, or give your child some soft noodles.
