You can put your toddler in a cool room or blow around with an electric fan to make the body temperature slowly drop, so the toddler will also feel more comfortable. However, if his limbs are cold and he is shivering, he needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket. 2, take off too much clothing: If the baby’s limbs and hands and feet are warm and sweating all over, it means they need to dissipate heat, so they can wear less clothing. 3.Warm water bath: untie the baby’s body clothes, use warm water (37 ℃) towel rubbed all over the body, so that the baby’s skin blood vessels will expand to disperse the body gas, in addition to water evaporation from the body surface, will also absorb body heat. 4, with antipyretic paste: help to dissipate heat, but for smaller children is not recommended, because young children are not easy to turn the body, ice pillow easy to cause local too cold or to hypothermia.

Fever is a defensive response of the body caused by various diseases. Studies have shown that the body’s white blood cells, which are responsible for swallowing bacteria, increase their ability to swallow when the body temperature rises (38°C to 39°C). Therefore, when a child’s body temperature rises due to a cold or other infectious disease, it is not wise to use every possible method to bring the body temperature down to the normal range immediately. This may reduce the resistance of the sick child. Some parents use folk remedies, such as cold water or alcohol swabs, to reduce fever in their children, which is inappropriate. In addition, the traditional old generation’s concept of “cold to” has caused the general misconception that fever must be dressed in more clothes, Zhao Wenchong, director, stressed that in fact, just the opposite. He said that the whole body can dissipate heat when fever is the largest surface area of the skin, the best heat dissipation effect, if you can peel off too much clothing, a lot of body heat can be eliminated through the loose and cool appearance, body temperature can easily drop. When a baby has a fever, parents should not make a fuss about it, but they should not take it lightly and make it unmanageable. Parents should learn how to face it with skill, knowledge and wisdom.
