How to quickly reduce fever in children

Children's immunity is relatively low, and when exposed to external stimuli, they are prone to some diseases, the most common of which are high fever and colds. However, children's bodies are relatively weak and they cannot take too many medicines. It is easy to cause side effects. If you want your child to reduce fever quickly, you can use physical cooling methods. For example, applying ice to your head or wiping your body with alcohol can lower your body temperature. Now let’s follow the editor to look at some methods to quickly reduce fever in children.

1. The fastest way to reduce fever in children

1. Apply cold compress to the head. Place an ice pack or cold towel on the forehead and change it every half hour. This can help prevent febrile convulsions.

2. Take a warm bath. Bathing with warm water at about 35°C has a cooling effect. It is more suitable to use when you have a high fever in summer.

3. Alcohol bath: Use 30% alcohol to repeatedly wipe the child's limbs, and use the large amount of heat absorbed when the alcohol solution evaporates to lower the body temperature. However, attention should be paid to the reaction of the rubbed area. If the blood circulation around the area is good, the skin should turn red. If the limbs are cold or there are chills, etc., it is not advisable to apply sponge baths or cold compresses. Suggestions: Change sweaty underwear promptly, and wipe your body or take a bath under warm conditions.

2. Do not use it excessively: Compared with traditional antipyretic methods, it is simple to use, can be used for a long time, and reduces the dosage and frequency of administration. At the same time, since the antipyretic patch itself is an external medicine, that is, a type of physical cooling, it avoids the threat of "all medicines are three-part poison", especially it can reduce the damage of traditional antipyretic drugs to the liver.

Before using the cooling patch, it is recommended to read the instructions carefully and then use it according to the instructions of different brands of cooling patches. Most brands of fever-reducing patches are directly opened and the frozen gel surface is applied to the feverish part. They are often applied to acupuncture points such as the temples and Dazhui acupoints. Generally, one patch can be used continuously for 8 hours.

If there are wounds, eczema, or any adverse reactions during use, it is recommended to stop using it immediately. Children are best to use it under adult supervision.

3. Master the scientific method of sticking: If you stick it in the wrong way and it gets stuck to your hair or your head is sweaty, it will fall off easily.

During the period of high incidence of influenza, you can give your baby some medicine to prevent colds and fevers when your baby is healthy. Once you find that your baby has symptoms of colds and fever, you must give the baby a certain degree of treatment. Do not wait until the baby has a fever to solve the problem.
