What to do if your child has a fever in the middle of the night:

Parents should not panic if their children have a fever at night. The first thing to do is to test the child's temperature with a thermometer to see the extent of the child's fever, and then take corresponding measures.

If the child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees and the child is in good spirits, you can give the child some water and rub the child's chest and back with the palms of your hands to make the child sweat and he will be fine.

When the child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can also use physical cooling methods, which is to use a hot towel to wipe the child's neck, armpits, palms, soles of the feet, etc. to help the baby cool down. Wiping the body with warm water is also a better cooling method, but it is not convenient to wipe the body when the baby is asleep in the middle of the night.

In addition to wiping with a hot towel, you can also use a cold towel to apply cool compress to the child's head. This can prevent the baby's brain from being burned when the fever occurs.

Some children's antipyretic medicine should be kept at home. If the child has a fever of more than 38.5 degrees in the middle of the night, the baby should be woken up immediately to give the baby medicine, and then the physical cooling method mentioned above should be used to help the child cool down.

If your child has a fever in the middle of the night and takes medicine, you should reduce or remove the baby's quilt appropriately. Don't wrap the baby in a thick quilt just because you are afraid that the baby will be cold. Wrapping the baby in a thick quilt will affect the baby's body's heat dissipation and cooling.

If your child has a fever of over 38.5 degrees in the middle of the night and the fever does not go down after taking antipyretics, and your child is in a bad mental state, you should go to the hospital immediately. Do not delay your child's condition to avoid causing other complications.
