1, rapid fever reduction method
(1) Take a warm bath
Warm bath is not very effective for children to reduce fever, but it is the safest and most comfortable physical cooling method for children. Adjust the water temperature to 35~37 degrees. If there is no thermometer, try the water temperature with the back of your hand and feel slightly warm. After soaking for more than ten minutes, the child's body temperature will drop significantly.
Note: warm water bath needs to pay attention to the indoor temperature, and the temperature difference should not be too big, so as not to feel cold after bathing. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the water temperature at all times during bathing, and replenish hot water in time when the temperature is low to maintain the water temperature.
(2) Wipe the body with a wet towel
If it is not suitable for taking a hot bath in winter or indoors, you can soak the towel with hot water, and wipe the child's body after wringing it out, especially at the neck, armpits, palms, soles and other large blood vessels. The evaporation of water can quickly cool down.
(3) ice cooling
If conditions permit, you can also wrap ice cubes with dry towels and apply ice to the forehead of children. First, the low temperature of ice cubes can absorb heat and cool down, and in addition, it can reduce the oxygen consumption of the brain, protect the brain, and avoid burning the brain nerves at high temperature.
Features: Ice compress cools down quickly, but it is mostly used in children who use more drugs in clinic. It is not recommended to use this method at ordinary times. The time of ice compress is not easy to control, and long-term ice compress also has certain influence on children.
(4) alcohol cooling
The evaporation of alcohol is very fast, much faster than water. Therefore, when the child's body temperature is too high and there is no good treatment method, some alcohol can be applied to the child's palms, soles, chest, armpits, neck and forehead, which has a quick cooling effect.
Note: Alcohol has a good cooling effect, but the temperature returns quickly, so it is more suitable for emergency treatment. In addition, there is no alcohol at home, so is liquor, and the effect is not bad.
