This will reduce the impact of the disease. So, what are the ways to deal with fever in children?

Use antipyretics with caution: Parents should not give their babies medicines self-righteously. Antipyretics should be used under the supervision of a doctor. Generally, antipyretics can only be considered when the baby's body temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius. The type and amount of antipyretics vary depending on the baby's constitution and condition. Therefore, the first thing to think of when a baby has a fever is to see a doctor.

Adding or removing clothes: Whether to add or remove clothes depends mainly on the baby's body temperature. You can touch the baby's body with your hands. If you feel that the body is too cold, you should consider adding clothes, or you can raise the indoor temperature. If you feel your baby's body is hot or even sweating, you should consider taking off the clothes appropriately. However, when taking off the clothes, be sure to avoid being blown by the wind, otherwise it will cause greater discomfort.

Drink more water: If you have a cold or a fever, you should drink more water. This will speed up your metabolism and some killed viruses will be quickly eliminated from the body. This is why people with a fever hate to eat greasy food and prefer to eat light food.

Water pillow: Water pillow can play the role of local heat dissipation and can be used for older babies. This type of water pillow is not suitable for younger babies. When you find that your baby cries more when using this type of water pillow, you should stop using it and re-enable it when the baby is older.

Towel wiping method: Use a towel dipped in warm water to wipe the baby's back. The water temperature should be controlled above 37 degrees Celsius. Do not use cold water, as the baby cannot withstand the stimulation of cold and hot. Use hotter water to wipe the baby so that the baby will not cry. At the same time, the evaporation of water will also lower the baby's body temperature.

Towel cold compress method: Similar to the previous method, this method mainly involves placing a towel on the baby's forehead. After the towel is soaked in water, the temperature is lower than the baby's body temperature, which can have a cooling effect. Replace towels after they warm up. Similarly, the temperature of the water used to soak the towel should not be too low to avoid irritating the baby. This method is suitable for babies over one year old.
