Where to apply the fever patch

A cold is a moderate illness and many people suffer from it because a cold is also a process of metabolism and detoxification of the body. Symptoms associated with a cold include cough, fever, runny nose, chills, etc. Different colds have different symptoms. Some people choose to apply a fever-reducing patch when they have a fever, which is a physical way to reduce temperature. Let’s take a look at where to apply the fever-reducing patch.

Cooling patches can be applied to the patient's forehead, neck, temples or other parts that require cooling or cold compresses; they can be cut into appropriate sizes as needed; if you want to speed up the cooling process, you can use several patches and apply them to large blood vessels such as the left and right axillary arteries and left and right femoral arteries at the same time to help reduce fever.

Where is the best place to apply the fever patch?

Stick it to where the body's major arteries flow.

It is best to stick the cooling patch where the body's major arteries flow to dissipate heat faster. Common locations of major arteries include: both sides of the neck, occipital area, groin, temples, armpits, etc. Pay attention to monitor body temperature to observe the cooling effect.

Note: Do not apply the cooling patch to the navel, chest, back of the ears, soles of the feet, or vulva to avoid causing discomfort.

How to use the cooling patch for better effect:

Refrigerate before use

When keeping the cooling patch at home, put it in the refrigerator before use for better cooling effect (do not put it in the freezer to avoid frostbite). If the high fever persists, consult a doctor.

Pay attention to usage time

Generally speaking, the effect of the cooling patch can last for 4 to 8 hours. Do not remove it too early to enhance the cooling effect. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5℃ and the body is still feverish, you can keep using the cooling patch. Generally, there are no side effects and you can remove it when the fever subsides.

Precautions for using cooling patch:

1. Do not use if you have skin abnormalities (wounds, eczema, rashes, etc.) or allergies.

2. Use as soon as possible after opening to avoid reducing the cooling effect.

3. If your skin experiences swelling, inflammation or other abnormal phenomena during or after use, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.

4. Infants and children should only use it under adult supervision. Avoid accidental ingestion and contact with mouth.

5. Do not use around eyes or mouth.
