How to reduce fever in children fastest?

Because the baby's own resistance is relatively poor, he will definitely catch a cold once he is exposed to cold wind. The most common symptom of a cold is fever, and many children will have a high fever in the middle of the night. This symptom is very dangerous not only for children but also for adults. Therefore, once a child has a fever, parents should help the baby reduce the fever as soon as possible. So, how can children reduce fever fastest?

1. Maintain good air circulation in your home:

If your 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. Drink plenty of water:

To help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

3. 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.

4. Soak your feet in hot water

Soaking your feet can promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort. Another benefit of soaking your baby's feet when he has a fever is that it can help reduce the temperature. You can use a large basin or a small bucket for foot soaking. Pour 2/3 of the basin with water. The water temperature should be slightly higher than usual, around 40 degrees Celsius, and it should be based on what the baby can adapt to. When soaking the baby's feet, the mother can rub the baby's two little feet, which can not only dilate the blood vessels but also relieve the discomfort caused by fever.

5. Ice pillow

When your baby has a high fever, you can make an ice pillow for him to use as a pillow, which is both comfortable and effective. Go to the hospital and buy an ice pack (not a hot water bottle). Pour the ice into a basin, break it into small pieces, rinse off the edges with water, put them into an ice bag, add 50 to 100 ml of water (do not fill it up, 2/3 full will be enough), expel the air, clamp the bag, wrap it with cloth or towel and place it under the baby's head and neck as a pillow. When the ice cubes melt, you can replace them and the baby's body temperature will drop soon.

6. Warm water bath:

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

7. Egg white can reduce fever

If you encounter this kind of fever, it is very simple. Beat an egg and get out the egg white. Then find a napkin or gauze, apply the egg white on it or soak the gauze, and then stick it on the child's forehead. Change it after a while. You can also get a small wine glass or something like that, with a smaller mouth, pour the egg white into it, wrap the wine glass with gauze, and then use the mouth of the cup to slowly apply the egg white in circles on the child's forehead. Basically, when the egg white is almost applied, the fever will subside. Generally speaking, the fever can be reduced within half an hour. It is very effective and not painful. Go and give it a try. Adults can too.
