Is the fever-reducing patch useful? The effect is so good

Generally speaking, if the baby's fever does not exceed 38 degrees, doctors do not recommend taking medicine or injections. The best way is physical cooling, and fever-reducing patches are the best choice at this time. The antipyretic patch has the functions of cold compress, relieving pain and spasm, etc. It absorbs excess heat in the body through the moisture in the latex and relieves fever symptoms to a certain extent.

1. Do antipyretic patches work?

The baby cooling patch has the functions of cold compress therapy, physical cooling, and relieving pain and spasms. It mainly absorbs human body heat and vaporizes the water in the gel, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the local body temperature. Suitable for auxiliary cooling of fever caused by cold and summer heat. Through local physical cooling, it can also play an auxiliary analgesic role for headaches, toothaches and muscle aches. A cooling patch can generally work for four to eight hours, and the longest cooling patch can be used is 10 hours. However, the cooling patch is a physical cooling method. Using it for a long time will cause allergies to the baby's tender skin. Therefore, you can remove it when the baby's body temperature is below 38 degrees.

The fever-reducing patch is an external patch that is applied to the body surface. It is a completely external physical cooling method that achieves zero side effects and avoids the first-pass effect of the liver. The gel layer in the antipyretic patch, through hydration and the penetration-enhancing effect of transdermal absorption enhancers, allows the active ingredients contained therein to penetrate the skin into the blood circulation, achieving a comprehensive and lasting effect.

When the baby's fever does not exceed 38 degrees, medication is not recommended, and it is recommended to use a fever-reducing patch. When a child's body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, he or she should take antipyretics to prevent the high temperature from damaging the baby's brain. It is recommended that as long as the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5, antipyretics should be taken, because the antipyretic patch is only an auxiliary role, it just makes the baby less uncomfortable, and it cannot reduce the fever.

2. How to use the antipyretic patch?

When using, tear open the packaging bag along the notch, take out the patch, peel off the transparent film, and apply the gel surface directly to the forehead or temple, or to the Dazhui point on the neck; to speed up the cooling rate, you can use several patches and apply them to the left and right common carotid arteries and left and right femoral arteries of the human body at the same time. 1-3 times a day, each patch can be used continuously for more than 8 hours.
