How can we reduce fever in children quickly?

Babies are very fragile, so parents will try their best to ensure that their children are fully protected. But as we all know, babies will inevitably encounter some natural diseases during their growth, and parents will be very worried. So the question is, parents will want to know how to reduce their baby's fever quickly without causing many side effects. Next, let me explain to you how to quickly reduce children’s fever.

Cold medicines can be used to reduce fever. This method is mainly suitable for patients with fever but no chills. If the "four major" symptoms are seen, namely, persistent high fever (high fever), excessive sweating (profuse sweating), thirst for cold drinks (profuse thirst), and a strong and rapid pulse (strong pulse), etc., it is a syndrome of excessive heat and damage to body fluids. At this time, the method of sweating to reduce fever cannot be used. The method of reducing fever with sweet and cold herbs should be used. The Chinese medicine Baihu Decoction can be used for treatment. If the patient has persistent high fever, irritability, dry mouth and throat, dry stool, yellow urine, red tongue with yellow coating, and a strong and rapid pulse, it is a symptom of severe heat toxicity and should be treated with bitter and cold methods to clear away heat. Sanhuang tablets can be used for treatment. In life, we can also drink some cold drinks, but since both medicines and drinks are cold and can easily damage the spleen and stomach, we should know when to stop. If the body temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. You can put ice cubes on the forehead, armpits and other parts of the body, or use alcohol baths to reduce fever. In addition, you can also press the Fengchi or Quchi acupoint for 10 minutes to achieve the effect of sweating and reducing fever.

Use bitter and cold laxative drugs to achieve the purpose of reducing fever. This method is mainly suitable for patients with high fever and constipation. The patient may even experience symptoms such as incoherent speech and yellow, rough and prickly tongue coating. At this time, you should use heat-clearing drugs together with laxative drugs. After the stool is excreted, the heat will subside. This can facilitate bowel movements, relieve heat accumulation, and remove evil heat from below, thus achieving the effect of clearing away fire and reducing fever. Fangfeng Tongsheng Pills can be used clinically for treatment. You can also eat some watermelon or foods that may cause diarrhea, but be careful not to cause excessive diarrhea. In addition, massaging the Tianshu, Dachangshu, Daheng, Neiting and other acupoints can also help clear the bowels and release heat.

Use yin-nourishing drugs to treat yin deficiency and fever. It is mainly suitable for symptoms such as chest heat, heat in the palms and soles of the hands and feet, accompanied by irritability, discomfort, night sweats, etc. caused by yin deficiency. It is more common in people with thin body and also common in people with some chronic wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, tumors and other diseases. At this time, the methods mentioned above cannot be applied, but instead, nourishing yin and clearing heat should be used. Zhibai Dihuang Pills or Dabuyin Pills can be used for treatment. You can also massage the Zhaohai, Taixi, Yongquan, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints, and eat more fresh lotus root, water chestnut, duck pear and other foods.

Common symptoms include fever and aversion to cold, with no sweating or poor sweating. Due to the different nature of the pathogens and the patient's physical constitution, these colds can be divided into two major categories: wind-heat colds and wind-cold colds. The symptoms of wind-heat cold are obvious fever, high body temperature, usually sweating, and also headache, thirst, sore throat and other symptoms. The evil heat can be dispelled by sweating, so that the fever will be relieved, thus achieving the effect of reducing fever. Symptoms of wind-cold cold include mild fever, obvious aversion to cold, generally no sweating, and also headache, limb aches, nasal congestion and clear runny nose, no thirst, no throat pain, and a floating and tight pulse. Treatment should be based on spicy and cool herbs to relieve the symptoms, induce sweating and reduce fever. Jiuwei Qianghuo Pills and Ganmao Qingre Granules can be used for treatment.

After reading the above methods, parents no longer have to worry about their baby suddenly having a high fever and various symptoms of physical discomfort. Parents should not only know the cure for the disease after birth, but also learn how to prevent it before the baby gets sick, so that the baby can live in a healthy environment and keep germs away, so that the baby can become a healthy and lively baby.
