What are the treatments for fever in children?

What are the treatments for fever in children? This is the issue that parents are most concerned about. Children have poor physical constitution and weak resistance. If you are not careful, you will develop symptoms of cold and fever. Parents feel distressed when their children have a fever. So how should we take measures to treat it? We have already provided relevant answers to the problem of fever in children. Please see some specific methods below!

1. First aid measures

(1) You can apply a cold, wet towel to your forehead. It is better to put ice cubes in a waterproof plastic bag and wrap it in a dry towel to apply to your head and neck. You can also apply it to your armpits and groin for better results.

(2) Dilute 75% alcohol with half the amount of water, then use a small towel to wet the alcohol and wipe the head, neck, armpits, chest, back and limbs. If the child's limbs are cold or the skin develops chicken skin after rubbing, you should use warm water slightly lower than the skin temperature to wipe the limbs until they turn red and warm again.

(3) While doing physical cooling, you should also take antipyretics. If you have a history of high fever and cramps, you should also take sedatives. If your home is far from a hospital and transportation is inconvenient, it is best not to rush to the hospital regardless of anything if you have a high fever. You can first perform the above-mentioned emergency treatment at home.

2. Cooling method

(1) Traditional physical cooling method

Place the child in a quiet, cool, well-ventilated place. Use a cold towel or cold water bag to apply to the forehead, armpits, groin and other parts, or use an ice bag wrapped in cloth as a pillow on the head or place it on the above-mentioned parts. You can also use cold water (28-30℃) or alcohol (30-50%) to bathe the limbs, both sides of the torso and the back. If the child develops pale skin or cold skin during sponge bathing, stop immediately. Cold saline (30-32°C) enema can also be used, which is more suitable for those suspected of poisoning. It can reduce the temperature and facilitate the collection of stool samples for examination.

Children's health is of vital importance. I believe everyone should clearly understand the treatments for children's fever! If you want your children to have a healthy body, you should teach and help them develop healthy living habits and eat a healthy diet. We should also pay attention to keeping warm. Children tend to sweat when playing with their friends. At this time, you should wipe the sweat off the child's back with a towel instead of taking off his clothes, which can easily cause illness.
