Treatment for recurring fever in children

I believe that friends who have children at home have all encountered such a situation: the child always has a fever, not just once, but it always recurs. When many parents encounter this situation, they often blindly give their children antipyretics. But in fact this method is not entirely correct. So what are some reasonable ways to treat children's recurring fevers? Next, let’s discuss it together.

6 simple and correct methods to reduce fever:

So what methods can parents use at home before taking their baby to the doctor? Based on the advice of experts, as a parent, the correct way to reduce fever should be:

1. Maintain good air circulation in your home:

If your 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 excess clothing:

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less 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 to dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children because it is difficult for them to turn their bodies and the 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. Babies with a history of tracheitis or pneumonia can use Yiqi stickers to protect their lungs

5. Drink plenty of 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 infant's core temperature (rectal or ear temperature) exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic syrup or suppository can be used appropriately.

Through the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone must know that there are actually many ways to treat children's recurring fever. We must take reasonable measures to treat the child based on the child's specific situation, so as not to delay the child's treatment and promote the child's healthy growth.
