What to do if a child has a fever without symptoms

Young children have low body resistance and often feel uncomfortable if they are not paid attention to. Many young children often do not have any symptoms after they have a fever. In fact, the main reason for a child's fever is inflammation in the body. The child's fever will not stop until the inflammation disappears. In fact, fever means the body's immunity is fighting the virus. So what should we do if a child has a fever without symptoms? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Wipe with warm water or take a warm bath: Wipe the child's head, armpits, limbs with a warm and wet towel or take a warm bath, scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation.

2. Foot soaking 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.

3. Head ice pillow: Fill the ice bag half full with small ice cubes and a small amount of water, expel the air from the bag, press the bag opening tightly, and place it on the pillow after there is no water leakage.

4. Apply wet compress with a warm towel. Wipe the baby's limbs with a warm towel, or apply a wet towel to the forehead to help reduce fever.

5. For medication to reduce fever, generally choose cooling patches or cooling suppositories. You can also choose oral solution or granule dosage forms. For infants under 1 year old, it is best to use drops because the drug concentration in drops is small and less irritating.

6. Feed your baby water repeatedly and try to let your baby rest in bed. While taking the above-mentioned antipyretic measures for children with fever, you should closely observe the baby's other conditions, such as whether he or she has a cough, his or her mental state, etc. If the temperature is too high, go to the hospital for treatment.

Through the above introduction, we know what to do if a young child has an asymptomatic fever. After the child has a fever, we parents must closely observe the child's condition. If the fever is high or does not subside, we must go to the hospital with the child for examination. After finding out the cause, targeted treatment will be effective.
