Methods of reducing fever

Children having fever is a very common condition in childhood, but do we know how to reduce fever? In fact, there are many ways to reduce fever in our lives. It just depends on whether we can master the reasonable ways to reduce fever. Otherwise, not only will the fever fail to be reduced, but the child's illness will become more serious, with disastrous consequences.

If you want to know what methods are there to reduce fever, you must understand the cause of the fever. Fever is actually caused by the body's defensive response caused by many different types of diseases. Some research has shown that some white blood cells in the body that are responsible for swallowing bacteria have enhanced swallowing ability when the body temperature rises. It causes a fever, so if you want to reduce the fever you must choose the right method.

If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. 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. 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.

Sleeping with an ice pillow can help dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger infants 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.

There are many ways to reduce fever. In addition to the above knowledge, when we find that our children have a fever, they also need to drink more water, because drinking water is conducive to fever and can avoid dehydration. However, we must adjust the water temperature to lower our body temperature and achieve the effect of reducing fever.
