What are the best ways to reduce fever in children?

Nowadays, most families have only one child. So when their children have a fever, many families are particularly worried, fearing that their children’s growth will be affected by the fever. Therefore, when their children have a fever, many families want to choose the best fever-reducing method as soon as possible. So what are the best fever-reducing methods for children? Let’s take a look at the answers below.

1. Maintain air circulation in the home: If the home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25-27℃. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or blow an electric fan around him to slowly lower his body temperature, which will make the child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so cover him with a blanket.

2. Take off too many clothes: If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat, so he can wear fewer clothes.

3. Warm water bath: Undress the baby and rub the whole body with a warm water (37℃) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Use a cooling patch: It helps dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children because it is difficult for them to turn their bodies, and an ice pillow can easily cause local overcooling or hypothermia. You can also use a cooling patch. When the water in the gelatinous substance of the cooling patch evaporates, it can take away the heat and will not cause excessive cooling.

5. Drink more water to help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

6. Use antipyretics: When the core temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) of an infant or young child exceeds 38.5°C, you can use antipyretic solutions or suppositories appropriately.

What are the best ways to reduce fever for children? The above is a detailed introduction for many children who often have fever, and the methods introduced above are currently commonly used.
