Good method to reduce fever for two-month-old baby

Two-month-old babies are still relatively young. At this time, their resistance is relatively poor, and their various body functions are not yet fully developed, so they are very likely to contract various diseases due to colds or germs. Fever is a common disease among children. When the baby has a fever, in addition to taking the baby for timely treatment, parents can also take certain measures to reduce the baby's fever. The specific methods of reducing fever are as follows:

If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25℃-27℃. You can place your baby in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower his body temperature and make him 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. But parents must remember that they must not let their babies face the air conditioner or electric fan to cool down.

2. Take off excess clothing:

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less 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.

It helps to dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger babies because it is difficult for babies to turn their bodies, and the 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.

5. Drink plenty of water:

Give your baby plenty of water to help sweat and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

When the baby's core temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) exceeds 38.5℃, you can use antipyretic solution or suppository appropriately.

If the baby's fever cannot be reduced using the above methods and the condition worsens, you should go to the hospital immediately to check the cause of the baby's fever so that you can receive symptomatic treatment and help your baby recover faster. It should be noted that mothers must insist on breastfeeding and take their babies out to bask in the sun every day. This will help strengthen the baby's physique, improve immunity and reduce illness.
