1, cover sweat with a quilt – easy dehydration This is a method of reducing fever passed down from generation to generation, however, it is better not to use it now, because the baby’s fever body temperature is already high, give him too much clothing or cover thick quilt, but is not conducive to skin heat dissipation, cooling, the more cover the body temperature may be higher, if the baby sweats too much, but also easy to cause baby dehydration, inducing febrile convulsions. 2, cold compresses with ice bags or cold water – can not dissipate heat When fever, the human skin pores are contracted, the body’s heat is not easy to dissipate. If the ambient temperature is high, the pores of the skin will expand, the body’s heat can be distributed through the skin. If an ice pack is applied or cold water is rubbed on the body, the blood vessels of the skin will be constricted and the skin will be like a brick wall, so the heat cannot be distributed. Skin after cold compresses, the body surface temperature is indeed reduced, but if this time to measure the anal temperature or mouth temperature will be found, because the body heat can not be dissipated, the baby’s internal temperature is higher, this situation will make the baby more uncomfortable. 3, alcohol wipe – stimulation, alcohol poisoning Alcohol wipe is also a commonly used method to reduce fever, wipe the skin with diluted alcohol, so that the skin capillaries dilate, accelerate the evaporation of water, through the volatile effect of alcohol to take away the heat of the body surface, so that the body temperature is reduced. But wiping with alcohol may cause the baby’s skin to quickly stretch and contract, the baby’s stimulation is relatively large, and, if the alcohol is not diluted enough, there is a possibility that through the baby’s tender skin absorbed into the body, resulting in alcohol poisoning of the baby, so now doctors do not advocate parents to use this method to cool their babies. 4, just take medicine, do not drink water – fever effect is not good The body temperature is more than 38.5 ℃ to give the baby to eat antipyretic drugs, but some parents say that the effect of antipyretic drugs is not good, the fever does not go down. This is related to the baby drink a lot of water. It is important to know that in order to get heat out of the body, a carrier is needed, which is water, that is, heat is brought out through sweating or urination. The effectiveness of fever reduction has a great deal to do with the adequacy of hydration. Fever is a big consumption of water in the body, if the baby does not drink water, even if you take antipyretic drugs, the effect of reducing fever is not good. 5, high fever do not eat antipyretic drugs – physical exertion, increasing the baby’s pain Some mothers do not want to give the baby medicine, worry about the side effects of drugs, so the baby burned to 38.5 ℃ or more than 39 ℃ also do not give the baby to eat antipyretic drugs. This practice is also not right. The baby’s body temperature over 38.5℃ will consume energy and make the baby mentally weak and very uncomfortable. At this time, you should give him antipyretic medicine to lower the temperature and relieve the baby’s pain, while allowing the baby to preserve his strength to cope with the disease. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are both very safe antipyretics and can be given to your baby under the recommended dose according to your baby’s weight. 6, a fever on the infusion – gastrointestinal dysfunction, immune system damage Many parents believe that infusion to reduce fever quickly, hoping to make the baby quickly reduce fever in this way. In fact, nowadays, children’s oral antipyretics usually take effect 30 minutes after taking them, and oral antipyretics have small side effects and are relatively safe. More infusions will not only lead to loss of appetite and gastrointestinal disorders, but also damage to the baby’s immune system, which will also have an impact on his long-term health. To reduce fever, you should do this 1. Take your baby’s temperature every half hour or so, and when the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use physical cooling methods. You can use warm baths, warm baths and physical cooling methods such as turning down the room temperature to help your baby get rid of the heat in his body. 2. If your baby’s body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, take oral antipyretics under the guidance of your doctor to relieve the pain caused by a body temperature that is too high for your baby. Pediatricians recommend fever reducers for infants and children with two main ingredients: acetaminophen and ibuprofen. 3. When giving your baby fever-reducing medicine, it is recommended to choose a single fever-reducing medicine when only two or three fever-reducing medicines are needed a day to reduce fever, because each additional medicine doubles the risk of taking the wrong medicine. In addition, once an adverse reaction occurs, it is difficult to identify which drug is the cause, so do not alternate between two kinds of antipyretic drugs when one can effectively reduce fever. 4. Be sure to give your baby enough water, drink warm water in small amounts several times, and if your baby does not want to drink plain water, you can let him drink diluted fruit juice. Drinking water is good for helping to dissipate heat through metabolism and can replenish lost water to prevent deficiency. 5, keep the indoor air circulation, neither closed doors and windows, nor blowing through the wind, indoor temperature should not be hot and cold. 6.Let your baby rest as much as possible, to ensure adequate sleep. Diet should be light, refreshing and non-greasy.
