What should I do if my child has a low-grade fever?

The physical health of children is what parents care about most. If there is a problem with the child's body, parents will definitely be very worried and don't know what to do. Therefore, we recommend that parents and friends must pay attention to protecting their children's bodies in daily life. Once the child's body shows any abnormality, they should be sent to the hospital for consultation in time. Below we will introduce to you what to do if your child has a low fever.

Because children are weak and have poor body regulation ability, they often catch colds and fevers when seasons change or the temperature changes suddenly. Often they are playing well during the day, but start to have a fever and cough in the evening/night. Don't worry, mothers!

First, we use a thermometer to measure the child's temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, we can use physical cooling methods! Use a hot towel to wipe the child's back and limbs to unclog the pores and facilitate sweating.

Children usually have dry mouth when they have a fever. Give the child some hot water, let him have a good rest, and keep an eye on changes in the child's body temperature. Generally, children will sweat soon after being wiped with a hot towel. Mothers should pay attention to changing their children's clothes or putting a dry towel on their backs to prevent them from getting cold due to the sweaty clothes on their bodies.

Children with fever must not be covered, just the right amount of clothes and quilts will do!

The traditional idea that sweating can reduce fever is wrong. Because the child's body temperature is already very high, and the quilt is covered tightly, it will be even hotter, which will affect the child's breathing. Sweating more will also cause the child to lose more water. Everyone knows that a normal person will easily get sick once he is dehydrated.

In the above article, we introduced one of the things that parents are most concerned about, that is, the physical health of their children. We recommend that parents and friends pay attention to taking good care of their children in their daily lives. The above article gives us a detailed introduction on what to do if a child has a low fever.
