My whole body aches after I have a fever

I believe everyone knows that the best way to reduce fever is through physical methods. There is no need for injections or medication, and the body can quickly cool down. After a fever, there will be pain and fever all over the body, so patients need to choose some appropriate and standardized methods of treatment according to the actual condition of the body. Here are some of the best methods of reducing fever so that you can learn the correct fever-reducing techniques.

What is the best way to reduce fever?

Methods for reducing fever include physical cooling and drug cooling. The so-called physical cooling means not using medicine. Regardless of whether it is a low fever or a high fever, it is recommended to use hot water bath. Use hot water above 40 degrees. When your hands feel a little hot, this temperature is just right. It is best to wait until the skin turns slightly red during the sponge bath. The capillaries under the skin will open and the blood flow will increase, which can dissipate heat and take away excess heat in the body, thus achieving an effective fever-reducing effect. Because children's body functions are still in the development stage, it is not advisable to use medication casually, so this is the best way to reduce children's fever.

If you have a normal high fever or a very high fever, you can apply a cold towel to your forehead. You can also use the fever-reducing patch available on the market. However, it is not recommended to use alcohol to reduce fever, because it passes through the skin and takes away some heat when the alcohol evaporates, but the skin surface will absorb some of the alcohol through the skin, increasing the burden on the liver, which is not good for the human body.

How to choose antipyretic medicine?

Do parents know? It is unscientific to give children antipyretics as soon as they have a fever! So, when can drugs be used to reduce fever? The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that antipyretics can be used above 38°C. Generally, our doctors will recommend using antipyretics when the temperature is above 38.5℃ or 39℃.

Generally, you don't need to take any medicine for a low fever, just take a warm water bath. How to choose antipyretic drugs? Tylenol antipyretic drops, Motrin, and Tencel can be used as antipyretic drugs at home. For babies, Bingbing's fever-reducing and brain-protecting patch is more reliable. It is an external patch that is safe, convenient, fast-acting, and made from plant ingredients without any toxic side effects. Doctors recommend the use of high water content products for both adults and children.

What are some home remedies for reducing fever?

1. Maintain air circulation in the home: If the home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25-27℃. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or blow an electric fan around him to slowly lower his body temperature, which will make the child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

2. Take off too many clothes: If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat, so he can wear fewer clothes.

3. Warm water bath: Undress the baby and rub the whole body with a warm water (37℃) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Use a cooling patch: It helps dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children because it is difficult for them to turn their bodies, and an ice pillow can easily cause local overcooling or hypothermia. You can also use a cooling patch. When the water in the gelatinous substance of the cooling patch evaporates, it can take away the heat and will not cause excessive cooling.
