If asked what her mother is most afraid of, she will answer without hesitation that it is children's health. Especially when children have a fever, it makes their mothers anxious. But the symptom of fever is inevitable and cannot be effectively prevented. It can only be actively relieved. What about a 3-year-old child with a fever of 40 degrees?
1. Fever reducing medicine
Children with a fever of 40 degrees should not be careless as it may cause complications at any time. Therefore, mothers must quickly give their children antipyretic medicine to cool down and prevent their body temperature from continuing to rise. But there are many brands of antipyretic drugs, so mothers must not feed them indiscriminately. They must choose antipyretic drugs specifically for children. Adult antipyretics should never be given to children, as it may harm their liver.
2. Physical assisted cooling
In order to lower the child's body temperature as soon as possible, after feeding the child antipyretic medicine, the mother can also use physical methods to assist in cooling down. You can use warm water to give children a bath. After the bath, use alcohol to wipe the armpits, thighs, and other areas of the child's body, which also has a good cooling effect.
3. Go to the hospital
After the above method, if the child's body temperature still does not decrease. Then the mother cannot continue to waste time. She must quickly take the child to the nearest hospital for examination and treatment. If left unchecked, it is likely to damage children's hearing and intelligence.
