The baby's temperature is 37 degrees for 2 weeks.

The baby's temperature is 37 degrees for 2 weeks.

If the baby's temperature is 37.5 degrees for two consecutive weeks, parents must be vigilant. There are many reasons for this situation, and it is related to some infections. As for what kind of infection it is, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time. Only through a good examination can you understand the specific cause of the disease. At this time, you should carry out good treatment in time. In addition to regular treatment, you can use some physical methods to reduce the temperature, such as cold compresses.

What to do if your baby has a low fever:

Method 1: Warm and wet compress

Using warm water can also help dissipate heat, and it is very simple to operate——

Specific steps:

1. Prepare warm water, the hot water temperature should be around 30℃.

2. Undress the baby, wet the towel, and rub the baby's body up and down with the warm towel.

3. Change towels every 10-15 minutes.

Method 2: Ice compress

Heat is mainly transferred through the exchange of heat between ice placed in large blood vessels throughout the body and the flowing blood. At the same time, it can reduce the oxygen consumption of brain cells, delay brain cell damage, and is beneficial to the body's microcirculation.

Specific steps:

1. Put homemade ice cubes just taken out of the refrigerator into a plastic bag, tie it tightly, put it in 2-3 layers to prevent leakage, and then wrap a towel on the outside.

2. Apply ice packs to the back of the head, forehead, armpits, neck, groin and other places where large blood vessels pass.

3. Change it every 5-10 minutes until the high fever subsides.

Tips:

1. The ice bag needs to be wrapped with a layer of cloth to prevent local skin frostbite. If the baby shivers, feels cold, turns blue in the face, or has purple skin in some areas, stop using the product immediately.

2. Boy babies should pay special attention to avoid letting the ice pack touch the scrotum area.

3. Use the prepared ice bag as an ice pillow, which has a good cooling effect.

Method 3: Use a cooling patch

Cooling patches, which are popular in Europe and the United States, have now become a common cooling product in Chinese families. When a child has a fever, just stick one on the forehead or other areas where large blood vessels run to achieve the effect of physical cooling. The reason why the cooling patch can play a cooling effect is mainly because it contains high-molecular hydrogel, which uses physical principles to concentrate heat into the gel, and then takes away the heat through water vaporization, thereby assisting in local cooling to reduce fever. In addition, some natural medicines contained in cooling patches, such as mint and borneol, also have a certain cooling effect.

Specific steps:

1. Tear open the packaging bag along the notch, take out the patch, peel off the transparent film, and apply the gel surface directly to the forehead or temple, or to the Dazhui point on the neck.

2. Use 1-3 times a day. Each patch can be used continuously for 8 hours.

Tips:

1. After using the cooling patch, if the body temperature remains above 38.5℃ and does not drop, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Avoid applying the patch on your hair, eyebrows, wounds, eyes or any abnormal areas of your skin.
