    Fever is a protective mechanism of the body's immune system for many reasons and a disease that we often encounter in our daily lives. Everyone has their own ways to cover or dry after a fever, so what is the right way to do it?

    There are generally three stages of fever:

    The first stage is the nerve center's command to warm up the body in order to fight viruses and bacteria. At this time, the person's body temperature rises, but he feels chills all over his body, so he should cover it and let the body temperature rise to the predetermined temperature as soon as possible.

    When the temperature reaches a temperature for a period of time and does not rise, it means that the heating work has been completed. People feel very sore and uncomfortable, and this is the second stage.

    The third stage is the fever reduction stage. The human body will feel very hot, and the body will also cool down by sweating. At this time, you can't cover it, otherwise it is not conducive to heat dissipation and fever, and it is easy to cover up the problem of filial piety.

    Although it is good to dry when the fever is reduced, you are also easy to catch a cold, and it is very effective to cover a thin quilt with a single coat and pants to assist in reducing fever through physical cooling.

    Antipyretics are comfortable and less offensive, but physical cooling is very safe and effective. Friends choose according to their actual situation.

    If the fever is reversed, it is likely to be a viral flu.

    If the high fever persists, it is time to go to the hospital for specific examination.

    This is actually a major misunderstanding of our Chinese common sense.

    This is an erroneous conclusion that has been the result of experience.

    It may have been a long time ago that everyone found that as long as you sweat when you have a fever, you can get a fever.

    So a "smart person" simply covered the person with a fever and covered his sweat, and the fever was naturally cured.

    In fact, this is fundamentally the cause of the end.

    It's not that I get better because I sweat and I have a fever, but because I have a fever.

    From a medical point of view, the normal temperature of the human body is 37 degrees Celsius.

    The armpits are usually measured when the body temperature is measured, so it is slightly lower than 37 degrees Celsius.

    And what is the principle of fever, when we are sick and the pathogen is too strong to be eliminated normally.

    Our immune system will work harder, and our body temperature will rise.

    At this time, the heat dissipation does not produce much heat, but gradually increases as the body temperature rises.

    When a higher body temperature is reached, heat dissipation and heat production are balanced.

    Our body temperature is fixed at a high temperature. That is, a fever.

    When our immune system destroys the pathogen, the workload becomes smaller, the heat production decreases, and the heat is naturally increased through sweating and other methods, and the body temperature returns to normal.

    And if you have a fever, you can do this kind of operation. What will happen?

    Heat dissipation becomes more difficult, not only does not help to reduce fever, but affects the normal heat dissipation of the body, which may lead to an increase in body temperature and endanger health.

    This way of reducing fever affects the work of the immune system and is harmful to the disease.

    Every time I had a fever when I was a child, my mother would help me "sweat" and help me get rid of my fever.

    Now that I think about it, I'm alive and strong. Shouchang slag.

    In short, this kind of "sweating" method is not advisable, and it is a bad habit that should be abandoned.

    It is not recommended to cover the fever excessively, but do not bend the base to dry and fight to avoid cold, aggravating the condition.

    Fever is a common symptom, for people who sweat, indicating that the body temperature is dropping, at this time, if you cover it, it is not conducive to heat dissipation, and there may be an aggravation of fever symptoms.

    At the same time, the fever can be relieved by physical cooling, the common one is ice packs for heat dissipation, you can place the ice packs on the forehead or armpits, etc., and you can also choose to take a bath with warm water.

    When you have a fever, you should pay attention to monitoring the changes in body temperature, and if the body temperature does not exceed it, you can physically cool down. If the body temperature is high, accompanied by fatigue, loss of appetite and other symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to seek medical treatment, and after finding out, take ** to avoid delaying the condition.

    The development of the body temperature center of infants and young children is not perfect, and the baby's body temperature will rise when encountering respiratory tract infections, allergies, vaccination reactions, etc., but they cannot be used indiscriminately. So when the baby has a fever or high fever that does not go away, what measures should the mother take to help the baby lower the body temperature?

    1. 35% alcohol scrub bath.

    Alcohol dilates blood vessels, and when it evaporates, it takes away a lot of heat, which can be used to help cool babies and young children when they have a fever. Prepare 100 ml of 75% alcohol, add the same amount of warm water, keep the temperature at about 27 37 degrees Celsius, and not too cold, otherwise it will cause muscle contraction and cause the heat to rise again. When rubbing the alcohol bath, wipe with a small towel from the baby's neck, wipe from top to bottom, and wipe the armpits, groin and the places with rich arteries and blood vessels on the body surface to rub until slightly red, which is conducive to cooling.

    Pay attention to the baby's chest, abdomen, and soles of the feet do not rub to avoid adverse reactions.

    2. Take a warm bath.

    Bathing helps dissipate heat. If the baby's mental state is better when he has a fever, he can take more baths and adjust the water temperature at 27 to 37 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to give the baby a hot bath, otherwise it is easy to cause the expansion of blood vessels throughout the body, increase oxygen consumption, easily lead to ischemia and hypoxia, and aggravate the condition.

    3. Soak your feet in hot water.

    Soaking your feet can improve blood circulation and relieve discomfort. Another great thing about soaking your baby's feet when he has a fever is that it can help cool him down. Soak your feet in a foot basin or a small bucket, pour 2 3 basins of water, the water temperature should be slightly higher than usual, the temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius, and the baby can adapt to the standard.

    When soaking the feet, the mother strokes the baby's two little feet, which not only dilates the blood vessels, but also reduces the discomfort caused by fever.

    4. Ice pack cold compress.

    You can go to the store to buy chemical ice packs, put them in the refrigerator when you use them, take them out after turning them into solid from a gel state, and wrap them with a towel on the top of the baby's head, forehead, neck, armpits, groin, etc., which can be used repeatedly. You can also make homemade ice packs: use disposable medical silicone hand kits to knot water and put them in the freezer, freeze them into a solid and then take them.

    If you feel that the ice cubes are too cold, you can take out the ice pack in a half-iced and half-water state, and wrap a towel to cool the baby.

    5. Ice pillows.

    When the baby has a high fever, you can make an ice pillow for the baby, which is both comfortable and has a good effect. Go to the hospital and buy an ice pack (not a hot water bottle). Pour ice cubes into a basin, knock them into small pieces, wash off the edges and corners with water, put them in an ice pack, add 50 100 ml of water, do not fill it, 2 3 full can be, drain the air, clamp the mouth of the bag, wrap a cloth or towel and put it under the baby's head and neck as a pillow.

    When the ice cubes melt, they can be replaced, and soon the baby's body temperature will drop.

    The body with a fever should be physically cooled.

    Sweating is done by first raising the body temperature, 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 it in a woolen 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.

    You can't eat it with a cold and fever:

    1. Eggs: Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but it is not advisable to eat more eggs during the fever, because after the protein in the eggs is decomposed in the body, it will produce a certain amount of extra calories, which will increase the body's heat, aggravate the fever symptoms, and prolong the fever time and increase the pain of the patient.

    2. Strong tea: Drinking strong tea will keep the brain in a state of excitement, and make the pulse faster, increase blood pressure, and then make the patient's body temperature increase and irritability. At the same time, tea water will affect the decomposition and absorption of drugs, reducing the efficacy of drugs.

    3. Cold drinks: If it is a fever caused by infectious diseases such as bacterial dysentery caused by unclean food, and the function of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, drinking more cold drinks will aggravate the condition, and even worsen the condition and endanger life.

    4. Honey: During the fever period, it should be mainly used to clear heat, and it should not be nourished. Honey is a tonic in the qi nourishment, if you take more honey, the patient's internal heat will not be well cleaned and eliminated, and it is easy to complicate other diseases.

    5. Spicy: Due to the increase in body temperature and the vigorous metabolism in the body, in this case, eating warm and spicy foods such as ginger, garlic, and chili peppers will help heat and aggravate the condition, which is not conducive to fever reduction and early development.

    6. Forced eating: When some children have a fever, parents often think that the fever consumes nutrients, and it is even worse if they don't eat. As a result, they force their children to eat, and some even desperately give them high-nutrient foods.

    In fact, this practice is counterproductive, not only can not promote appetite, but also can cause appetite, and even cause vomiting, diarrhea, etc., making the condition worse.

    No. When you have a high fever, you need to dissipate heat.

    When covering it, because of the high ambient temperature, the effect of dissipating heat from the body will be reduced.

    It will cause the body temperature to drop and slow down.

    There can be cramps in the hand.
