How to take care of a child with a fever

Clothing Do not wrap the baby too tightly and do not dress too thickly. When the fever is high and the body is hot, dress a little less than usual, and just a little more when the child feels cold and has cold hands and feet. Sweating may occur at the beginning of the fever, so if sweating is high, change clothes promptly to keep dry. Cooling down Just keeping your child’s body cool will not reduce the fever, but it will make him or her feel better. You can rub your child’s body with ice and wet towels. If you use alcohol, dilute it with an equal amount of water. When rubbing the bath, you can rub the child’s hands, feet, forehead and have large blood vessels pulsating[a1], while the face and chest are forbidden to use alcohol to scrub. If the room temperature exceeds 35℃, air conditioning can be used, but the temperature should not be lower than 28℃ and the air conditioning vent or fan should not be facing the child. Food As you will feel thirsty when you have a fever and your body tends to excrete water, you should give your child water and water-rich food in a timely manner. Such as the groin, neck and wrists.
