Dongguan, a pair of parents in two-year-old son fever, did not measure the temperature, but the direct use of industrial alcohol bath, resulting in the death of the child poisoning. Also remind parents and friends again, the child fever, do not take for granted alcohol bath physical cooling! This news reflects the problem, and not only in the industrial alcohol. Even if it seems “relatively safe” medical alcohol or white wine to cool down, not necessarily safe.

Industrial alcohol contains a large number of (including methanol, including) a variety of impurities, use it to rub the body, is tantamount to a variety of chemical substances coated in the body, the consequences can be imagined. When children consume physical cooling, there should be the following premise: Premise 1: first measure the body temperature, whether the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃ Premise 2: whether the child’s mental state is good The temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, the child’s mental state is not good, can take non-stimulating warm water bath for physical cooling, if the child’s state is obviously bad, or do not take the initiative to see a doctor.

Too high a concentration of alcohol not only irritates the skin, but also absorbs a lot of water from the epidermis. 2.Temperature When mixing water, the water temperature is slightly higher than the body temperature, in order to test the water with the inside of the wrist and feel not hot as a principle. After mixing the alcohol, the temperature is close to the body temperature, will not be too cold to cause discomfort, but also to avoid the water temperature is too high to cause the alcohol to evaporate too quickly. 3, gauze wipe the best choice of a small piece of cotton gauze or handkerchief, absorbent, moderate friction, with alcohol dipped in wet and wrung to half-dry after wiping the body. If there is no gauze, you can also use a small towel, in order to avoid waste, it is best not to soak through, just dip the corner of the towel can be wet. 4, parts Wipe the parts rich in blood vessels from top to bottom.
