Physical cooling of the baby is usually done through warm water baths and fever-reducing patches.
Physical hypothermia is a common clinical measure used to assist in the treatment of abnormally high body temperature. Usually, when the baby has a fever, parents need to use warm water to wipe the baby’s whole body, especially the groin, armpits, popliteal fossa, back and other parts of the dense blood vessels, which is conducive to the body’s heat dissipation. During this period, the baby needs to drink more hot water to promote the body’s metabolism.
Secondly, fever-reducing patches can also be used in a way that helps the body temperature drop to a certain extent. In addition, when giving physical cooling to your baby, you need to closely monitor the changes in body temperature throughout the process. If the temperature rises to 38.5℃, then antipyretics such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
In summary, parents must follow the doctor’s instructions to give the baby standardized physical cooling measures, if repeated fever does not go away, should promptly go to the hospital to clarify the specific causes, with the doctor for treatment.
