What is the fastest way to reduce fever in babies

When a baby has a fever, it needs to be given antipyretic treatment. Generally, there are two kinds of antipyretic treatment, one is to apply antipyretic drugs; the other is to give physical cooling. If the child is in a low fever state, he or she can be treated with physical cooling, that is, using warm water to continuously wipe the forehead, neck, armpits and other parts of the body rich in blood vessels to reduce body temperature, while paying attention to local warmth. However, if the child’s body temperature is high and exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medication should be applied, which can be supplemented with physical cooling, generally the common ones are ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen, etc., which should be given to the child orally according to the dosage in the drug instructions. So for which antipyretic method to be applied, it needs to be judged according to the specific temperature of the child, not according to how fast or slow, no matter which method it is, it takes time.
