Practical physical cooling method for the home.

First, wear less clothes and dissipate heat for your child. The traditional concept is that as soon as the child has a fever, he will wrap the child tightly with clothes and quilts to "force" the sweat out, which is actually wrong. When a child has a fever, he or she will shiver, and parents will think that the child has chills, but in fact it is due to the cramps caused by their body temperature rises.

Second, there are the following common methods to help children physically cool down:

1.Cold and wet compress on the head: soak a soft towel with 20 30 cold water, squeeze it slightly so that it does not drip water, fold it and place it on the forehead, and change it every 3 5 minutes.

Untie the child's collar, open the doors and windows of the house to keep the air circulating, but do not take off too much clothing immediately, the child has poor resistance to avoid catching a cold.

Wipe the forehead, neck, armpits and back of the ears with 20% to 35% medical alcohol, but alcohol is not recommended if there are wounds.

I've seen a few tips for physical cooling, so let's share them:

1. Warm water to cool down. When you have a high fever, you can use warm water to wipe the surface of the neck, armpits, elbow fossa, groin and popliteal fossa and other large blood vessels, and take away the excess heat in the body by evaporating the excess water on the surface of the old ** to achieve the purpose of cooling. Or the congregation can be cooled by taking a warm bath.

2. Hydrate and cool down. When you have a high fever at home, you can drink more boiled water, which can promote blood circulation in the body, accelerate the discharge of viruses, and also reduce body temperature through sweating, urination, etc.

3. Ice packs to cool down. When you have a high fever, you can wrap the ice pack with a towel and place it on the part of the body where large blood vessels are exposed, which is conducive to cooling.

4. Massage to cool down. The main chiropractic method is to use both hands to pinch and press on both sides of the patient's spine, first pinch the skin, and then lift and push, and coordinate it. You can also use the palm of your hand to rotate and rub the navel acupoint, or use your thumb to press the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot, which is helpful to improve the internal heat condition.

The principle of the alcohol scrub bath method is to make the alcohol volatilize and absorb heat, and at the same time, alcohol can also dilate local blood vessels, increase blood flow, accelerate metabolism and take away human heat, so as to achieve the effect of reducing fever.

If your child's body temperature is between 38 and 39 after he or she has a fever, the following physical methods can be taken to cool him down.

1. Drink more water, give your child more water, and replenish body fluids, which is the most basic physical cooling method. And it's very effective and suitable for all babies with a fever.

The temperature of the water is monitored between 32 and 30 and the duration of each operation is more than 10 minutes. The focus of the wipe is in the folds, such as the neck, armpits, feet, groin, etc.

3. Reduce the ambient temperature, and the child needs to exchange heat with the surroundings to reduce fever. The lower the ambient temperature, the better it is for fever, and the best ambient temperature is 20 -24, which is conducive to a slow drop in body temperature. For infants and toddlers, especially in summer, as long as the baby's clothes are open and placed in a cool place, his body temperature will also slowly drop.

Use antipyretic patches, the area of antipyretic patches is very small, the antipyretic effect is very good, for patients with high fever, antipyretic patches can be applied to the forehead to reduce fever.

Rub your child's whole body with warm water, or put it on his forehead when it's cold.
