When a baby gets sick, both parents will be particularly worried. Compared to adults, children have weaker resistance and immunity, and are prone to getting sick during seasonal changes. Parents should take more precautions for their children. So, what if a baby has a high fever of 40 degrees?
1. Physical cooling, first use the physical cooling method. You can wet a towel with cold water, then place the wet towel on the child's forehead to cool down, and replace it several times. You can also use Baijiu. Pour a small amount of Baijiu on the parents' palms, and then rub the baby's palms, feet, armpits, and legs repeatedly to achieve the cooling effect.
2. Drink plenty of water. When a baby has a high fever, they should be fed warm boiled water to promote blood circulation. You can also boil some ginger soup for the baby to drink, and then let the baby rest more, cover up with a blanket, and let the child fully heat up and sweat, which will also have some effect on cooling the baby.
3. Pay attention to diet. When the baby is sick, his appetite is not very good. Parents make some light and delicious food for him, boil some millet porridge and eat some fruit. How much food can replenish energy.
Sent to the hospital for treatment. If a child has a fever and the physical cooling effect is not significant, parents should send the child to a children's hospital for treatment, investigate the cause of the fever, and follow the doctor's instructions to take medication, injections, and other treatment methods.
