How to induce sweating in children with fever

When a patient has a fever, everyone will let the patient sweat, because everyone thinks sweating can reduce fever, but the wrong sweating method may have the opposite effect. We must pay attention to sweating during fever in normal times. It is very important to pay attention to good methods and processes. If children want to promote sweating during fever, they should drink more water. Hot water can increase heat and reduce temperature.

Why are young children more likely to have a fever?

Young children are prone to fever because their resistance is weak, and the cells in their bodies are easily infected, producing a substance called "pyrogen". When pyrogens appear, the body temperature will rise immediately, making the child's body temperature higher than normal.

In fact, fever is beneficial to the human body to a certain extent. For example, it can control the reproduction of bacteria and viruses. To put it another way, high body temperature can "burn" bacteria and viruses to death, so fever can enhance children's immunity to a certain extent. Therefore, parents sometimes do not need to worry too much about fever affecting the health of their children. Of course, if the high fever persists, you must seek medical attention immediately.

There are the following solutions:

1. Do not wear too many clothes. One or two thin clothes are enough. Because fever needs to dissipate heat, children's clothes should be kept as cool as possible.

2. If the child still has a high temperature after taking the medicine, you can try giving the child a warm bath for about ten to fifteen minutes. Depending on the child's body temperature, you can give the child a warm bath several times a day.

3. Give your child plenty of water to prevent dehydration.

4. Even if the child does not have other symptoms of discomfort (such as irritability, crying, etc.), parents should pay attention to changes in the situation.

Recommendation: When a child has a fever, parents do not need to rush to use medication to reduce the fever. They can first try physical cooling methods such as taking a warm bath to help the child reduce the fever.

3: Under what circumstances should you seek medical help?

If the child still plays, eats and sleeps as usual despite having a fever, parents do not need to worry too much.

But if your child looks a little tired, has a dazed look, is breathing hard, or has trouble eating, you should see a doctor. Young babies (under three months old) need special attention and caution, because if babies under three months old get sick, the condition can be very serious, so if they get sick, they need to seek medical attention immediately.
