Generally speaking, fever is a battle between the body's immune system and the devil, when the immune army will destroy the invading substances, the body's functions return to normal. This time the human hypothalamus thermoregulation center will send out orders, so that the elevated body temperature gradually down to normal. At this time, the phenomenon of "sweating" appears, through the evaporation of sweat to take away the body heat, so that the patient's body temperature back to normal. In other words, when the body has overcome the disease, the body temperature will be returned to normal through sweating in this way, rather than what the people think (sweating can cure the disease). Chinese medicine, the human body after sweating, can take away the body surface of the cold, but also to achieve the effect of dampness. Thus reducing the body's surface temperature, so that the body temperature down, so people will inevitably feel more comfortable. So you can make your body sweat a little bit by drinking a bowl of ginger soup, some people say soaking your feet in hot water and so on, so that your body can sweat a little bit properly.

For people who are weak, it is best not to use the sweaty way to achieve the purpose of cooling down, sweating to take away too much water, which will make the body itself is very weak people even weaker.

For small children, avoid "cover sweat". The traditional concept is that the child a fever, with clothes and quilts to the child wrapped tightly, the sweat "forced" out, in fact, this is not true. When a child has a fever, he or she will experience shivering, and parents may think that the child is cold, but in fact this is due to the spasm caused by the rise in their body temperature. This can lead to "muffled fever syndrome", resulting in shock and a series of serious consequences. You should first unbutton your child's clothes to dissipate the heat, and then apply cold wet compresses on the head, warm water to wipe the body and other physical cooling methods. Children sweating more attention to hydration, to prevent dehydration aggravate the condition.
