Should the fever be covered or dispersed ?

The body with a fever should be cooled by the physical cooling of heat dissipation.

Sweating is done by raising the body temperature first, passively sweating, and then lowering the body temperature. So before the body temperature decreases, there will be a process of body temperature increase. If the body temperature rises too high, it can cause cerebral edema and even coma, especially in children and the elderly.

Experts also tell us that for children, sweating when they have a fever can have more serious consequences. Covering too much can cause a condition called "fever syndrome", in which the child will have convulsions, coma, and in severe cases, respiratory and cardiac arrest, and even death.

1. The baby's clothes should not be worn too much, otherwise it will affect the heat dissipation and make the body temperature not come down, so it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of febrile convulsions, especially for newborns whose body temperature is above the degree, once the package is too tight, it is easy to lead to convulsive seizures. Therefore, for newborns with elevated body temperature, it is necessary to immediately unwrap and loosen clothing to dissipate heat.

2. Physical cooling should be slow rather than urgent, suitable for those with a high fever of 39 or more, or when the diagnosis is unknown, delirious, and there is no way to administer medicine, or the external temperature is too high to cause heat. Various physical cooling methods can be tried:

1) Soak a towel or ice pack in cold water and apply it to the forehead, groin, armpits, etc. for 20 minutes.

2) 35%-50% alcohol rub the limbs, neck, chest and back for about 2-4 minutes, and wrap in a towel or quilt after wiping.

3. Cold saline enema, the water temperature is about 20, each time is 200-500 ml. At the same time, it is best to take appropriate sedatives, such as hibernatin or 10% chloral hydrate, before physical cooling, which can reduce the cold reaction and prevent the occurrence of convulsions.

If the child is in the early stage of the rise in body temperature, the child will have cold hands and feet, shivering, at this time to cover the child appropriately, do not dry too much, to avoid the child from catching a cold again. After taking antipyretics, the child may sweat all over the body, so you don't need to dry it too much when sweating, and cover him a little. The quilt should not be too thick, and the heat will not be dissipated if the cover is too thick, so consider whether to cover or dissipate heat according to the situation.

According to the different periods of the child's fever, the child may be chilled at the beginning of the fever to cover the point, if the child sweats after taking antipyretics, then also cover, but do not cover too much. After the child sweats, change the child's clothes and bedding in time to avoid catching a cold after sweating.

The patient's fever is due to the accumulation of heat in the body, and clinicians often recommend taking some appropriate heat dissipation measures, but the specific needs to be analyzed and judged according to the patient's clinical symptoms.

During the period of rising body temperature during the fever process, the patient's cold intolerance symptoms are more obvious. If it is a low-grade fever, you can take some appropriate measures to keep warm, which will help to promote sweating and can have a certain fever-reducing effect. If the patient's fever body temperature reaches the level of moderate fever or above, it is generally recommended to reduce clothing appropriately, which is conducive to the dissipation of heat in the body and helps to reduce fever.

Fever symptoms are only a clinical manifestation caused by a variety of diseases, and it is recommended to actively investigate the cause and symptoms after identifying the fever.

It is better to dry when you have a fever, and you can dissipate heat when you are drying, which can play a role in assisting cooling. It is best not to cover it during the fever, as it is not conducive to heat dissipation, which will lead to a continuous increase in body temperature.

When you have a fever, you can generally take physical cooling, wipe it with warm water, take away the heat in the process of evaporation of warm water, and can play an auxiliary role in cooling, you can wipe the forehead, two carotid arteries on both sides of the neck, under the armpit and in front of the chest, these are the places where the arteries flow, and wiping with warm water can play a role in cooling down quickly.

During this period, you should also drink plenty of warm water, which can also promote blood circulation, promote metabolism, and play a role in assisting in cooling.

The process of fever is generally divided into three stages: the first stage is the period of rising body temperature. **It is pale, the body is afraid of cold, and you need to pay attention to keeping warm;

The second stage is the duration of body temperature. The heat production and heat dissipation systems in the body are relatively balanced, with flushing without significant sweating; The third stage is the period when the body temperature drops, that is, the defervescence period. At this time, the heat dissipation system in the body is larger than the heat production system, and there will be obvious sweating.

It is no longer recommended to cover the heat by sweating. Wipe the sweat off your body in time, and wipe it with warm water to keep your body dry to avoid getting cold again. It is not advisable to cover your sweat when you have a high fever.

Scatter well. 1. Keep warm appropriately during the cold war period.

The so-called "chills" is the period in which our body temperature rises from normal to normal in the early stage of fever.

At this time, you should keep warm properly, add clothes and quilts when you feel cold, and drink some warm water, but do not overwrap your body to avoid increasing physical discomfort.

2. Appropriate cooling during the high fever period, reasonable selection of antipyretics.

If the fever is not yet and the fever period has already arrived, you can appropriately choose physical cooling methods such as "antipyretic patches", torals wrapped in ice packs, and warm water scrubbing to slowly reduce the body temperature to normal.

If the body temperature is exceeded, the fever that is commonly used at home can be selected according to the specific situation.

Medicine, carefully read the instructions to rule out contraindications before taking, do not blindly take "antipyretics".

3. Pay attention to wiping sweat during the antipyretic period to prevent cold.

At the same time, because the body temperature will gradually drop to normal, the heat will sweat, and even some people will sweat profusely.

4. Drink plenty of water, rest well, and seek medical attention in time.

No matter what stage of the fever is, it is advantageous to drink more water, the metabolism rate in the body increases when the fever is fast, and the water consumption in the body is fast, so it needs to be replenished in time. When the fever is reduced, perspiration cools down and prevents excessive sweating that can cause water and electrolyte imbalances.

Indeed, during the cold war, the increase in body temperature "setting point" makes us feel cold and shivering all over the body, and it is true that certain measures to keep warm can reduce the damage caused by the cold.

When it comes to the high fever period, the body temperature is much higher than the general room temperature, and what is more needed at this time is effective heat dissipation, and it is absolutely impossible to blindly keep warm or cover sweat. Because when the immune system in the body is most intense in the "fight" with external pathogens, the body temperature will unconsciously rise and rise again, and long-term high fever will cause damage to the nervous system, especially the brain center, and this damage is often irreversible in children.

On the other hand, "sweating", after the period of fever and high fever, the body naturally sweats due to the drop of the body temperature setting point to normal, and the body dissipates heat, which is the "effect" rather than the "cause". It's not that the fever goes away because of sweating, but because the fever goes away, it naturally dissipates heat and sweats.

If you unfortunately have a fever, you should still disperse. Because if the human body dissipates heat, it can help reduce the body surface temperature. And heat dissipation itself is also a detoxification process, so if you really have a fever, you should still dissipate, and you should also drink more water.

Traditional Chinese medicine generally has Xinwen Jiebiao and Xinliang Jiebiao, both of which reduce fever by diverging wind chill or wind heat. If it is a cold and the body is afraid of cold, then you can add clothes and quilts at the same time to reduce the fever in the form of sweat, if it is wind and heat, then you can't use the way of covering, which will be aggravated.

A fever should definitely be better off dissipating heat. When a person has a fever, the body temperature is very high, so drink more boiled water and dissipate heat at the same time. Let your body temperature leak outward, so that the fever will be better sooner.
