Treatment of fever in six-month-old babies

There will be many emergencies in life, and a baby is an important member of a family. When a six-month-old baby has a fever, parents often panic and don't know how to deal with the baby's sudden fever. The baby's crying made the parents even more anxious and they didn't know what to do. I don’t understand why my baby has a fever and I just give him antipyretics. Below we will introduce to you the method of treating fever in six-month-old babies.

Simple and correct method to reduce fever

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. Babies with a history of tracheitis or pneumonia can use Yiqi stickers to protect their lungs

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 of an infant or child (rectal temperature or ear temperature) exceeds 38.5°C, you can use antipyretic solutions or suppositories appropriately.

Through the above introduction, we have learned how to treat fever in six-month-old babies. I hope these methods can help parents solve the problem of baby’s fever. The baby is still a very young child, his immune system is very fragile, and inadvertent behavior may cause pain to the child. There are many shortcomings when parents take care of their children, and their baby's illness worries them. Through these methods, I hope to be able to get rid of the pain as soon as possible and live a happy life.
