However, it should be noted that only when the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃ can antipyretic drugs be used to relieve the fever under the guidance of a doctor. If the fever does not reach above 38.5℃, physical cooling methods such as sticking antipyretic stickers and warm water bath can generally be used for cooling treatment. If the patient's body temperature exceeds 39.5℃, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences such as febrile convulsions 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 cannot be lowered quickly, so as not to cause the body to sweat too much and affect the health of the body.
1. Antipyretic drugs: If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, the fever can be reduced by antipyretics. Common drugs include ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
2. Physical cooling: When the fever is between 37.5 and 38.5 degrees, or when the effect of taking antipyretics is not ideal, it is recommended to add physical cooling, such as alcohol wiping, soaking in warm water bath, cold compress and other methods. You also need to drink plenty of water to promote excretion.
3. Glucocorticoid: If the high fever persists, you can use glucocorticoid drugs to suppress immunity under the guidance of a doctor to 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 your fever according to the doctor's advice. Don't use drugs blindly to avoid adverse reactions.
