Fever is a common symptom in a disease, but it can be big or small. Usually, the fever is reduced by eating and infusion. However, it takes some time for the drug to achieve the effect of reducing fever, and it can't be cured immediately. But it burns hard. So what physical ways can reduce the fever?

The first one is cold compress. Very directly, put an ice pack or cold water on the head and face to make the patient feel better. Of course, this method only makes the patient feel better subjectively, but it doesn't really reduce the fever. However, if the general fever is below 38.5, this method is still useful, because it generally does not last long.

The second method is to wipe the whole body with alcohol. Especially under the armpit. Generally, if the fever has not gone down for about 3 hours, you should wipe it once every once in a while until the fever has gone down. So what is the principle of this? ? Wiping the skin with alcohol can dilate the blood vessels of the patient's skin and increase the heat dissipation ability of the skin. Alcohol volatilizes and sublimates, and it can also absorb and take away a lot of heat, so that the symptoms of fever can be alleviated. But the alcohol concentration should not be too high, otherwise it may irritate the skin and make the epidermis lose a lot of water.

The third is a rural indigenous method. At that time, medical conditions were limited and there was no money at home. Adults will collect the leaves of a plant that can be seen everywhere. Put it directly in the pot and fry it. When it is hot, wipe the whole body for the child, sleep in the quilt and sweat, and the fever will go down. We call this plant gold. Is the necessary weapon to hit children. Grandma said that they used this when they were young, and it was very useful. The general principle is to strengthen heat dissipation. To dissipate heat, you can also drink more hot water and sweat.
