Fever reduction method:

1. Egg white to reduce fever

If you encounter this kind of fever, it is very simple. Beat an egg and get out the egg white. Then find a napkin or gauze, apply the egg white on it or soak the gauze, and then stick it on the child's forehead. Change it after a while. You can also get a small wine glass or something like that, with a smaller mouth, pour the egg white into it, wrap the wine glass with gauze, and then use the mouth of the cup to slowly apply the egg white in circles on the child's forehead. Basically, when the egg white is almost applied, the fever will subside. Generally speaking, the fever can be reduced within half an hour. It is very effective and not painful. Go and give it a try. Adults can too.

2. Soak your feet in hot water

Soaking your feet can promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort. Another benefit of soaking your baby's feet when he has a fever is that it can help reduce the temperature. You can use a large basin or a small bucket for foot soaking. Pour 2/3 of the basin with water. The water temperature should be slightly higher than usual, around 40 degrees Celsius, and it should be based on what the baby can adapt to. When soaking the baby's feet, the mother can rub the baby's two little feet, which can not only dilate the blood vessels but also relieve the discomfort caused by fever.

3. Ice pack

You can go to the store to buy chemical ice packs, put them in the refrigerator when using, take them out after they turn from gel to solid, wrap them in a towel and apply them to the top of the baby's head, forehead, neck, armpits, groin, etc., and they can be used repeatedly. You can also make your own ice packs at home: fill a disposable medical silicone glove with water, tie a knot, and place it in the freezer. Freeze it into a solid state before using. If you feel the ice is too cold, you can take out the ice bag when it is half ice and half water, wrap it in a towel and apply cold compress to your baby.
