How long should the fever patch be applied

A large number of people experience fever when they have a cold. Fever, if the body temperature is too high, will cause some enzymes in the body to become inactivated, which will affect the body's metabolism. There are two ways to reduce fever: medication and physical cooling. People will choose to use antipyretic patches to physically reduce the temperature. Let’s take a look at how long the fever-reducing patch should be applied to achieve the cooling effect.

How long should the cooling patch be applied?

About 4-8 hours.

Generally speaking, the effect of the cooling patch can last for 4 to 8 hours. Do not remove it too early to avoid reducing the cooling effect. If your body continues to be feverish, you can replace it with a new cooling patch. Generally, there are no side effects and you can remove it once the fever subsides.

How long can the cooling patch be applied?

About 10 hours.

Cooling patches are generally used to reduce fever for babies. One cooling patch can generally work for 6-8 hours, but generally the longest cooling patch can be applied is about 10 hours. Because the baby's skin is delicate, it may cause redness or skin allergies if applied for a long time. Therefore, when the baby's body temperature is below 38 degrees, it can be removed.

Can the cooling patch be used continuously?

Can.

You can use the cooling patch continuously when you have a fever, which is equivalent to continuous physical cooling. There will be no adverse effects. You can keep applying it until the fever goes down. You can take it off when the body temperature is below 38 degrees. However, fever-reducing patches cannot fundamentally cure fever, they can only assist in improving and controlling the condition.

Can the cooling patch be used repeatedly?

Repeated use is not recommended.

In order to maintain hygiene and freezing effect, please use each cooling patch once and do not use it repeatedly, which will greatly reduce the cooling effect. Generally, a cooling patch will become thinner after 8 hours of use. At this time, it can be discarded. Do not put it in the refrigerator for reuse. You should replace it with a new cooling patch.

Will there be side effects if the cooling patch is used for a long time?

Generally not.

Cooling patches are external cooling products that will not destroy the body's immune system response at all. They are a physical cooling method, which is equivalent to applying a cold towel on the forehead. There are generally no side effects if used for a long time. At most, the cooling effect will not be as good.

Of course, if your skin has wounds, eczema, rashes, etc., or if you have skin allergies, it is not recommended to use it as it will cause skin discomfort.
