How to deal with baby's fever and sweating

In fact, when a baby has a fever, some parents who have just started to take care of their babies will feel at a loss. In fact, at this time they can learn to take some measures to deal with it at home. Let us learn about how to deal with a baby's fever and sweating.

Treatment method:

Warm bath

The water temperature is about 3~4℃ lower than the sick child's body temperature, and each time lasts 5~10 minutes.

Many parents think that babies should not be bathed when they have a fever. In fact, on the contrary, giving babies a warm bath can help cool them down. A warm bath is suitable for all babies with a fever.

Low temperature chamber method

Place the sick child in an environment with a room temperature of about 24℃ to allow the body temperature to slowly drop. In order to allow the skin to come into contact with the outside air and help cool down, people need to wear less clothes. If conditions permit, use air conditioning to lower the room temperature. This method is suitable for babies under 1 month old, especially in summer. Just open the baby's clothes and put him in a cool place, his body temperature will slowly drop. If your baby has chills and shivering when having a fever, you should not use the low-temperature chamber method.

Cooling patch

Cooling patches are a new product in recent years and are very popular. In fact, their cooling effects are average and not as exaggerated as advertised. Put a patch on the baby's forehead, the baby's head will feel more comfortable, and parents will also feel more at ease. It should be beneficial and harmless.

Ice

There is still much controversy about the pros and cons of this approach. I think ice compresses do more harm than good, because they may cause the capillaries in the baby's skin to contract, hindering heat dissipation and causing the body temperature to be higher, especially if accompanied by chills and shivering. Ice compresses should never be used.

Alcohol bath

Babies' skin is very thin and alcohol is highly permeable, so it may be absorbed into the blood through the skin. Moreover, alcohol baths can also irritate the skin, causing capillaries to contract, hindering heat dissipation, and causing the body temperature to be higher. This approach has been abandoned.

The above article introduces in detail some methods to deal with baby's fever and sweating. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, we should pay attention to learning such methods in normal times. If we use them appropriately, we will not appear to be in a hurry.
