Generally speaking, when a baby grows up to seven or eight months old, the immunity brought by the mother's body will weaken. At this time, the baby's resistance is relatively low and they are easily susceptible to bacterial invasion and illness. So during this period, parents need to always pay attention to their babies' bodies and keep them warm. So, what should I do if a 1-year-old baby has a fever of 38.5 ℃?
If the baby's fever is below 38.5 ℃, there is no need for fever reduction treatment, and physical cooling can be used to solve it. So, if parents want to physically cool their baby, they can dip a towel in warm water and wipe the baby's entire body, which can help cool down the baby's body.
You can also use fever reducing stickers to apply to your baby's forehead to dissipate heat and cool down. If there is an ice pack to reduce fever, parents should remember to wrap the ice pack in a towel and place it on your baby's forehead to avoid the ice pack being too cold and damaging their body. During physical cooling, parents should encourage their babies to drink plenty of water to eliminate toxins from their bodies, which is beneficial for body heat dissipation and cooling.
In terms of diet, it is best for babies to consume liquid foods to ensure that the body has sufficient energy and water. In addition, parents should pay attention to cooling their babies to prevent their body temperature from rising. Generally in summer, the body temperature can be controlled at 27 ℃, and attention should be paid to opening windows for ventilation regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria and viruses indoors, which is not conducive to the recovery of the baby's condition.
