Fever is a common condition in babies. The baby's body temperature is not very stable and is often affected by the external environment. The temperature will rise when the weather is hot and when the baby is sick. A 7-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees. What are some good ways to reduce fever? Below, the editor will bring you the solution to the fever of 38.5 in a 7-month-old baby. A child's fever is the body's process of producing antibodies and is also one of the symptoms of the disease. More than 90% of fevers are caused by colds. Generally, when the baby is 6-8 months old, the immunity brought from the mother has gradually dissipated, the resistance has decreased, and the baby will have a fever 1 or 2 times. This is normal. From a certain perspective, fever is not a bad thing. Experts believe that fever can enhance immunity. Therefore, parents should not be too anxious when their children have a fever. As long as the child's body temperature is controlled so as not to be too high, there will be no big problem if it causes a high fever convulsion. Physical cooling method: Apply cold compresses on the child's forehead, both sides of the neck, both sides of the armpits, and both sides of the groin (these parts have the body's large arteries, and cold compresses can effectively cool them down). When it is cold, wipe them with warm water, or take a warm bath. This can reduce the temperature by 0.5° or more, and the child will feel much more comfortable. The interval between the use of medication for fever reduction should be 6-8 hours. If it is less than 6-8 hours and the body temperature rises, physical cooling can be used. Feed your child more boiled water to replenish water and speed up the excretion of toxins through urine. The above is the treatment method for a 7-month-old baby with a fever of 38.5. What I recommend here to all parents is physical fever-reducing methods. You can apply cold compresses and wipe the baby's body appropriately. You can use drug treatment when you have no choice, because drug treatment will always cause certain stimulation to the baby's body. |
