What to do if your 10-month-old baby has a low-grade fever

A ten-month-old baby is not yet one year old, so his body resistance is weaker and he will inevitably have some minor symptoms, such as the common low-grade fever. Patients with low-grade fever should not use ice compresses. You can first check the body's recovery, wear loose clothes, open the clothes, and gently wipe the body with warm water to adjust the balance of body temperature.

Physical cooling

Method 1: Warm and wet compress

Applying warm water can also help dissipate heat, and it is very easy to do. 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.

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.

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.
