1. Drink more water: give the child more water and replenish body fluids, which is the most basic cooling method, and it is very effective and suitable for all feverish babies. The reason why infusion is considered to be effective by most parents is closely related to intravenous fluid supplementation. Some children don't want to drink water because of throat discomfort and other reasons when they have fever. At this time, drinking water is the most important thing. You can choose all kinds of juice drinks, and of course the best is boiled water.
2. Wipe your body with warm water: wiping your whole body with warm water is a good cooling method, suitable for children of all ages, and the temperature of water is 32℃~34℃. Each wiping time is more than 1 minutes.
the key parts of wiping are the places where the skin is wrinkled, such as neck, armpit, elbow and groin. For children with high fever or older, warm water bath can be used. The water temperature is slightly lower than the body temperature, and the temperature is too low for children to accept.
3. Reduce the ambient temperature: children need to exchange heat with the surroundings to reduce fever. The lower the ambient temperature, the better it is. The best ambient temperature is 2℃~24℃ (according to different seasons), which is beneficial to slow down the body temperature
. For a baby, especially in summer, as long as the baby's clothes are open and placed in a cool place, his body temperature will gradually drop. If the child's fever is accompanied by chills and chills in the early stage, it means that the child's body temperature is still rising, so this method is not suitable.
4. Use antipyretic patch: antipyretic patch has a small area and limited antipyretic effect. It may be more comfortable for children with high fever, and it is only an auxiliary measure. Because ice compress is too cold, it may cause capillary contraction of children's skin and hinder heat dissipation. In particular, children with chills and chills should not use ice compress.
5. alcohol rubbing bath: the baby's skin is very thin, with strong alcohol permeability, which is easy to be absorbed through the skin and may cause symptoms of alcoholism. Alcohol rubbing bath can also irritate the skin, cause capillary contraction and hinder heat dissipation. Children, especially small babies, are generally not recommended.
6. excrete more: drinking more water and urinating more is a good way to take away the heat in the body. In fact, defecation is also a good choice. Prepare a kaisai dew. If the child has no stool on the day or for a few days, use kaisai dew once to remove the food residue accumulated in the body, and take away the heat at the same time to reduce the high fever. Many Chinese medicines use this method to reduce the fever, which is called clearing the heat of lower energizer or relaxing bowels. These traditional Chinese medicines generally contain rhubarb, gypsum, Trichosanthes kirilowii, betel nut, etc., so be careful when using them.
