How to reduce fever in children

Touch your baby's hands and the back of his neck regularly to know if his temperature is normal and, more importantly, whether his clothes are suitable. Parents should know more about their baby's normal body temperature. Once the baby has a fever, you will know immediately and take measures. So, let’s take a look at what to do to reduce children’s fever!

1. Cold compress method:

Specific operation method:

Fold a small towel or clean cloth into two or three layers, soak it in cold or ice water, wring it until half dry (no water dripping), and apply it to the forehead. It is best to use two towels alternately and do it for 15 to 20 minutes continuously. If you apply cold compresses to your armpits and groin at the same time, the cooling effect will be better.

Kind tips:

1) During the cold compress process, we must pay attention to the baby's skin. If the skin becomes pale or chilly, stop using it immediately;

2) In addition to ice towels, you can also use cold water bags, cooling patches or ice bags to cool down. The usage is similar to that of ice towels.

2. Warm water bath:

Specific operation method:

First apply a cold towel or ice bag to the baby's forehead. This can not only help reduce the temperature, but also prevent the blood from congesting in the head due to the contraction of blood vessels on the surface of the body. Prepare warm water at 32~34 degrees and two towels. Undress the baby, cover with a large towel, expose one side of the limbs, wipe the upper body first, from the neck to the back of the hand, from the armpit to the palm, and dry with a dry towel after bathing. Then use the same method to rub from the waist to the back, and finally rub the lower limbs. Rub from the hip through the outer thigh to the instep, then from the inner thigh to the ankle, and finally from the back of the thigh through the popliteal fossa to the heel. After wiping one side, use the same method to rub the other side, rubbing each side of the limbs and back for about three minutes. Areas where large blood vessels are concentrated, such as the armpits, elbows, thighs and behind the knees, can be rubbed for a longer time to enhance the cooling effect.

How to cool down a child with a fever? If the child has cold punches and cold limbs and needs warmth, cover the child with a blanket at this time; if the child's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating and needs cooling, you can wear less clothes, even children's clothes, and wipe the body with a warm towel, so that the child's skin blood vessels can dilate and generate heat.
