What should I do if a one-month-old baby has a fever?

Fever is common in children, and there are many causes of fever, such as upper respiratory tract infection, various acute infectious diseases, etc. Moreover, the baby's body temperature is easily affected by external factors, so parents should not panic if their children have a fever. Avoid drug abuse and choose medication under the guidance of a doctor. Below, the editor will introduce some ways to reduce fever without taking medicine.

Children with fever should pay attention to:

First, wear less clothes to allow your child to dissipate heat. The traditional idea is that when a child has a fever, he or she should be wrapped tightly with clothes and quilts to "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. When children have a fever, they will shiver and parents may think that their children have chills, but in fact, this is because their increased body temperature causes convulsions.

Second, help your child cool down physically. There are the following common methods:

1. Cold wet compress on the head: Soak a soft towel in 20℃-30℃ cold water, squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping, fold it and place it on the forehead, change it every 3-5 minutes.

2. 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.

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

4. Alcohol bath: suitable for cooling down high fever. Prepare 200-300 ml of 20%-35% alcohol and use it to rub the limbs and back.

Third, drink plenty of water and don’t take any medicine casually. When the fever is high, breathing speeds up and sweating causes the body to lose a lot of water, so parents should give their children plenty of water when they have a fever, increase urine volume, and promote the excretion of toxins in the body.

Your baby's repeated fever may be caused by a viral cold. At this time, you must feed your baby more boiled water to drink. At the same time, use physical cooling methods to reduce the baby's fever, and take the baby to the hospital for treatment in time. If the baby's fever persists, it will burn the baby's brain cells, thus affecting the baby's future intellectual development!
