Physical fever reduction methods are as follows, but it is best to see a doctor because there are many types of fever.

Physical cooling is suitable for children with high fever and good circulation. It is characterized by simple method and few adverse reactions.

●Warm water bath

Suitable for babies with high fever. The water temperature should be slightly lower than the baby's skin temperature (i.e. 32℃-34℃). After the skin receives cold stimulation, the capillaries can contract and then expand, achieving a cooling effect. Massage techniques can also be used during bathing to stimulate the passive expansion of blood vessels and promote the dissipation of heat. Pay attention to applying even force when wiping and bathing, and gently massaging a few times can also promote blood vessel expansion. Rub it into the armpits, groin and other places rich in blood vessels and leave it there for a little longer to help dissipate heat. Rub the limbs and back for 3-5 minutes each. After bathing with warm water, wrap the baby in a large towel, let the baby lie down comfortably, and give the baby more warm water to drink.

●Alcohol bath

When using alcohol bath, pay attention to the concentration of alcohol. Generally, the concentration of 30-50 is appropriate. The alcohol should not be too cold. The appropriate temperature is 32℃-35℃. Dip the gauze or towel in alcohol and wipe it regularly. Usually, it starts from the child's neck and rubs from top to bottom along the outside of the upper arm to the back of the hand. Then rub it along the inner side of the upper arm through the armpit to the palm of the hand. After wiping the upper limbs, wipe the back from the neck down. While wiping and bathing, use the other hand to gently massage and pat the back to promote blood circulation. Finally, wipe the lower limbs starting from the iliac area in the same way as the upper limbs. Wipe each area for about 3 minutes. When wiping armpits, elbows, palms, groin, soles of feet and other parts of the body, the stay time should be slightly longer to improve the heat dissipation effect.

Baby's skin is delicate, so you should be gentle when wiping and bathing, and do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the skin. During the alcohol swabbing process, attention should be paid to keeping the baby warm, not exposing too many parts of the body, and covering the wiped parts in time. If you find that your baby is shivering, pale or otherwise abnormal during the bath, you should stop bathing, cover the baby with clothes and quilts to keep him warm, and consult a doctor promptly. Alcohol baths should not be used on infants and weak children.

Note: 1. It is best to place an ice pack on the child's head before wiping the bath. This will not only help to cool down, but also prevent epidermal blood vessels from constricting and blood concentrating on the head during wiping and bathing. Congestion.

2. The chest, abdomen and back of the neck are very sensitive to stimulation, which can cause adverse reactions such as reflexive heart rate slowdown and diarrhea. Warm water or alcohol baths are not suitable.

3. Children with rash should not take baths with warm water to cool down.

●Cold salt water enema

Cold salt water enema has a significant cooling effect, but it is not suitable for home operation.

●Cold compress

If the high fever is unbearable, you can use cold compress to help lower the body temperature. Place a wet and cold towel on your forehead, wrists, and calves, and cover other parts with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, it should be changed once and repeated until the fever subsides. You can also wrap ice cubes in a cloth bag and place it on your forehead.

●Hot compress

If the body temperature is not too high, you can use hot compress to reduce fever. Use a hot wet towel to wipe the patient's forehead and limbs repeatedly to dissipate heat from the body until the fever subsides.

However, if the body temperature rises above 39°C, do not use hot compresses to reduce the fever. Instead, use cold compresses to prevent the body temperature from continuing to rise.

●Take a bath

Sometimes, taking a warm bath is the most comfortable thing. It can also relieve the symptoms of fever. The baby should be bathed in warm water or wrapped in a wet towel and changed every 15 minutes.

●Replenish fluids

When you have a high fever, your body will sweat to dissipate heat; but when you have a high fever, the body will close the sweat glands because it loses too much water. Stops further water loss, which prevents your body from dissipating heat. The solution is to replenish fluids and drink a lot of boiled water and fruit and vegetable juices. Fruit and vegetable juices are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially beet juice and carrot juice. If you want to drink tomato juice, choose a low-sodium product. Solid foods should be avoided during fever until the condition improves.

If the vomiting is not serious, you can also eat ice cubes to reduce the fever.

Pour juice into the ice box and freeze it into ice cubes. You can also put grapes or strawberries in the ice tray. This is especially popular with children with high fevers.
