What are the physical methods for reducing fever in babies?

Some babies have problems with colds and fever, so they need to take timely antipyretic methods to reduce the fever. This can effectively ensure the health of the baby's body and avoid encephalitis caused by fever, which may put the baby in danger. So what are the physical methods of reducing fever for babies? Let me introduce them to you below.

Physical cooling methods:

1. Cooling patch: It is recommended to keep some cooling patches at home. Cooling patches are easy to use. They can quickly dissipate heat and cool down the baby by sticking them on the baby's forehead. They are convenient and easy to use. Tips: Fever patches are medical products and must be strictly reviewed and registered by the State Food and Drug Administration. When purchasing a fever-reducing patch with guaranteed quality, be sure to check whether it has a registration number: for example: National Medicine Management Equipment No. XXXX. Substandard fever patches will have no effect after 2/3 hours of use. If you keep applying and tearing off the patches, your baby's forehead will turn red. )

2. Alcohol rub bath was a common method of reducing fever in the past, but it is not recommended to use this method for babies now. Wiping the baby's body with alcohol will cause the child's skin to expand and contract rapidly, which is very irritating to the baby. It may also cause alcohol poisoning in the baby.

3. Using an ice pillow or ice compress on the forehead to reduce fever is often used by many parents. However, this method is not suitable for children under six months old, because young babies are easily affected by external temperature. Using an ice pillow will cause the temperature to drop too quickly, making it difficult for the baby to adapt. In addition, when a baby has a fever, the temperature of the whole body rises. Local ice compresses can only have a local cooling effect. It is better to wipe the baby's whole body with warm water.

4. Warm water bath is to use a warm water towel at about 37°C to wipe the child's limbs, chest and back. Gradually reduce the high temperature of the skin (about 39℃) and make the baby feel more comfortable. At this time, you can also wipe your forehead and face with a slightly cooler towel (about 25°C). It should be noted that when performing these cooling treatments, if the child has so-called cold reactions such as cold hands and feet, trembling all over, purple lips, etc., stop immediately.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the child has a fever, appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the danger and avoid the child's organs being burned due to the above-mentioned fever problem. This is very dangerous for the baby. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
