However, it should be noted that only when the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃ can antipyretics be used to reduce fever under the guidance of a doctor. If the fever does not reach above 38.5℃, physical cooling methods such as sticking antipyretic paste and warm water bath can generally be used for cooling treatment. If the patient's temperature exceeds 39.5℃, he should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences such as febrile convulsion and nerve damage.
Fever can be reduced by antipyretic drugs, physical cooling, glucocorticoid drugs and other methods. Fever needs a process, and the body temperature can't drop quickly, so as not to cause excessive sweating and affect health.
1. antipyretic: If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can use antipyretic to reduce the fever. Common drugs are ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
2. Physical cooling: When the fever is between 37.5 and 38.5 degrees, or the effect of taking antipyretics is not ideal, it is suggested to add physical cooling, such as alcohol wiping, warm water bath soaking, cold compress and other methods. You also need to drink plenty of water to promote excretion.
3. Glucocorticoid: If the high fever persists, glucocorticoid drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor to suppress immunity and achieve the purpose of cooling down, such as dexamethasone injection and prednisone acetate.
When you have a fever, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time and treat the fever according to the doctor's advice. Don't blindly use drugs to avoid adverse reactions.
