Medicine that reduces fever quickly

The most commonly used antipyretic drugs

(1) Ibuprofen antipyretic: Ibuprofen is used for antipyretic and analgesic purposes. It is relatively safe and effective in reducing fever in pediatrics. However, ibuprofen takes a long time to reduce fever, generally taking 8 hours. If it is an ibuprofen sustained-release formulation, the cooling time can be as long as 10 to 12 hours. Ibuprofen's antipyretic gel works by applying it to the skin to allow the drug to penetrate into the skin, making it a fever-reducing method that babies can more easily accept.

(2) Acetaminophen antipyretic: Acetaminophen is also a relatively safe antipyretic drug with a rapid and reliable antipyretic effect.

Physical cooling method

1. Taking a warm bath. Taking a warm bath is more conducive to the baby's heat dissipation. The water temperature should be adjusted at around 27-37℃. If taking a bath is inconvenient, a warm water sponge bath is also a very effective way to reduce fever.

2. Soak your feet in hot water. You can use warm water at a temperature of about 40°C, and the water should cover your ankles. Rubbing the baby's two little feet can help dilate blood vessels and relieve the discomfort caused by fever.

3. Warm and wet compress is to soak a towel in water at about 35°C, take it out and wring out the water, apply it to the forehead, and change it every 10 to 15 minutes.

Parents can cover the baby's front fontanelle with the palm of their hands after the baby falls asleep until the baby's head sweats slightly. Generally speaking, the baby will start sweating after covering for about 15 to 30 minutes.

5. Rub the soles of the feet and limbs first, then rub the calves, hands, arms, and back. Finally, rub the baby's ears to warm them up, and then rub the Baihui acupoint. After a while, the baby will sweat and his body temperature will drop.
