How to regulate children’s fever in the morning and evening?

Many children are very susceptible to illness because they are too young and have weak immune systems. When children get sick and have a fever in the middle of the night, they will feel very uncomfortable and may even vomit continuously. Many parents are very anxious, but because it is too late, it is difficult to send them to the hospital, and they don’t know what method to use to treat them. Don’t worry, next, the editor will explain to you what to do when your child has a fever.

Use antipyretics: The effectiveness of antipyretics from highest to lowest is: ibuprofen, acetaminophen, metamizole, compound aminopyrine and aspirin. The most commonly used is syrup containing paracetamol, which has mild side effects when used in regular doses for a short period of time and can be used as the first choice antipyretic drug. If your child cannot tolerate oral medications, rectal suppositories may be an option.

Warm and wet compress: Apply a large warm, wet, and semi-dry towel to the baby's chest and abdomen, but be careful not to turn on the air conditioner to prevent the room temperature from being too low and causing a chill that worsens the cold. In addition, you can also use a few slightly cool wet towels (about 25℃), wring them into half dry, and place them on the baby's forehead, neck, armpits and thighs for cold compress. Change them every 5 to 7 minutes. The cool feeling can make the baby much more comfortable.

Apply ice or use an ice pillow: Place an ice pack on the baby's forehead or both sides of the neck, or on the armpits and bilateral groin areas. To make a homemade ice pack, put crushed ice into a plastic bag, add an appropriate amount of cold water, squeeze out the air, and tie the bag. Or you can let your baby sleep with an ice pillow, which can help the baby dissipate local heat and reduce fever. But be sure to wrap a layer of cloth around the ice bag to prevent local frostbite on the baby's skin. Generally, ice compresses and ice pillows are only suitable for older babies. For babies under 6 months old, you can use fever-reducing patches on the market to relieve the discomfort caused by high fever.

The above article introduces some methods to help children reduce their fever. Parents can use them. However, if the child's fever is too high, reaching over 39 degrees, he must be sent to the hospital for treatment. Otherwise, if the high fever does not subside, it will cause great harm to the child's body. Of course, your child should also drink plenty of water and rest in bed.
