People living in this world often experience a lot of suffering and setbacks. Getting sick is one of them, and the most common symptom is fever. If you have a fever, do you have any extra medicines at home? So there is no need to be too nervous. A long time ago, when there were no Western medicines, people used physical cooling methods to reduce fever. So we can too. So what are some tips for treating fever? Let me introduce you to it today.

Tips for treating fever: Fever is a common symptom among people. If it is not very serious, there is no need to go to the hospital. Not going to the hospital does not mean that you can ignore it. You still have to learn some methods to reduce fever and then solve it yourself. Simple fever-reducing methods include: 1. Cold compress: If the high fever is unbearable, you can use cold compress to help lower your body temperature. Place a cold wet towel on your forehead, wrists, and calves, and cover other parts of your body with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, it should be changed and repeated until the fever subsides. You can also wrap ice cubes in a cloth bag and place it on your forehead. 2 Hot compress If the body temperature is not too high, you can use hot compress to reduce the fever. Use a hot, wet towel to repeatedly wipe the patient's forehead and limbs to dissipate heat from the body until the fever subsides. However, if the body temperature rises above 39°C, do not use hot compresses to reduce the fever. Instead, use cold compresses to prevent the body temperature from continuing to rise. 3. Wiping the body to evaporate also has a cooling effect. Experts recommend using cool running water to help dissipate excess heat from the skin. Although you can sponge your entire body, pay special attention to areas where your body temperature rises, such as your armpits and groin. After squeezing out excess water from the sponge, wipe one area at a time, keeping the rest covered with clothing. Your body heat will evaporate this water, helping to dissipate the heat. 4. Take a bath Sometimes, taking a warm bath is the most comfortable thing. It can also help relieve fever symptoms. Babies should be bathed in warm water or wrapped in a wet towel, which should be changed every 15 minutes. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has already mastered some tips for treating fever. So if you encounter a fever in the future, don’t panic. You can reduce the fever through the above treatment methods. You can also give the patient more water to drink, which can also achieve the effect of cooling down. However, patients should still be given anti-inflammatory drugs in time to prevent fever from occurring again.
