Should I cover my child with a blanket when he has a high fever?

Fever is a disease in which the human body temperature rises rapidly, so during the fever the body will be very hot, and there will be signs of sweating and fever. When a child has a high fever, parents should know that they should use both physical cooling and drug cooling to cool the child's body temperature. However, during the launch process, parents will consider whether to cover their children with a blanket? Because without a blanket, the heat dissipates faster, but it is easy to catch a cold.

Should children be covered with blankets when they have a fever? We all know that fever will cause the child's body temperature to rise, which will make the child very uncomfortable. In this case, it is best for us to let the child wear less clothes so that the child's heat can dissipate as quickly as possible. In seasons with high temperatures, it is best not to cover children with too thick quilts, because this is not conducive to heat dissipation and can easily cause the child's body temperature to further increase. We can cover the child with a thin blanket or sheet, which is conducive to the dissipation of heat and can also prevent the child from catching a cold. However, in cold weather, we'd better cover children with quilts, because without quilts, children can easily catch a cold, which will have an adverse effect on the treatment of the disease.

So how do you reduce a child's fever? When parents find that their children have symptoms of fever, they should not panic. They should measure the child's temperature in time and then take appropriate measures according to the specific situation. If the child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, then we can only use physical cooling methods to reduce the child's fever, such as using alcohol to wipe the child's entire body, which can not only absorb the temperature of the skin, but also dilate blood vessels, allowing the child's body to dissipate a large amount of heat. In addition, we can also use a wet towel to wipe the child's forehead and armpits, which is also very helpful in controlling the child's body temperature.

In short, whether a child needs to be covered with a quilt when he has a fever depends on the outside temperature. If it is in a hot season, we can not cover the child with a quilt, but just cover him with a sheet or a thin blanket. However, if the weather is cold, it is best to cover the child with a quilt to prevent the child from catching a cold, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on the treatment.
