What should I do if my baby has a fever, and what physical cooling methods should parents learn?

Using a wet towel, using a cooling sticker, using a cooling sticker, constantly wiping the body, and putting a small Xiaoice cube on the top of his head, these methods can effectively reduce body temperature.

Take a warm bath and achieve the purpose of dissipating heat from the whole body by taking a bath. When bathing, the recommended water temperature is 35 37. Also take care to adjust the temperature of the bathroom and other rooms so that they don't differ too much.

Parents can put a wet towel on the baby's forehead, wipe the baby's body and blow a fan on the baby.

After the baby has a fever, the first thing to do is to physically cool the baby, if the baby's fever exceeds 38 degrees, then you have to go to the hospital for examination, to reduce the baby's fever in time; Physical cooling can be done with a towel on the baby's forehead, or in the armpits, or warm water can be used to wipe the baby's major arteries, such as carotid arteries, axillary arteries and elbow arteries.

First of all, if the baby's temperature is above 38 degrees 5, then it is necessary to give the baby antipyretics. If it is lower than 38 degrees, then cool down physically, wipe the baby's forehead, and the base of the thighs under the armpits.

1. The most common method is warm water wiping, usually using warm water on the patient's forehead, along the Tongdong eyebrow bone to the temples, and then along the bilateral carotid arteries to wipe the jaw, bilateral armpits, front of the torso, and then wipe the front chest and back, palms of both hands and feet, wipe 3 times a day, 10-15 minutes each time, can play a physical way to lower the temperature of the pants.

2. However, the above-mentioned physical cooling method is suitable for patients whose body temperature does not exceed it, if the body temperature continues to rise, and the continuous body temperature is higher than above, it can be wiped with warm water and warm cold water or cold water. The bureau is pure and dry.

3. In addition, you can also use antipyretic patches for local application, such as physical cooling methods can be used on the head, palms and soles of the feet.

Physical cooling can generally take warm water baths, use antipyretic patches or drink more warm boiled water, etc., and at the same time, you can also apply ice to the forehead, appropriately increase or decrease clothing, etc. to achieve the effect of cooling.

1. Warm water bath: By using warm water to wipe the body, it can promote the evaporation of surface heat to achieve the purpose of reducing body temperature. When performing a warm water scrub, you can choose to wipe the neck, armpits, elbows, and groin and other areas where large blood vessels run.

2. Use antipyretic patch: Antipyretic patch is a kind of external patch, which takes out excess heat in the body by vaporizing the water in the hydrogel in the antipyretic patch, so as to achieve the effect of reducing body temperature, especially for infants and young children, you can physically cool down by using antipyretic patches. When using, you should pay attention to whether there is an allergy, and if necessary, you need to remove the antipyretic patch in time.

3. Drink more warm boiled water: When the body has a fever, patients need to pay attention to drinking more warm boiled water to replenish the water required by the body. When the body is hot, blood circulation is accelerated, which will accelerate the consumption of water, and proper drinking of water can promote metabolism, promote the reduction of body temperature, and can also avoid the appearance of water and electrolyte disorders.

4. Ice on the forehead: due to the abundance of blood vessels in the head and face, when the body is hot, the body temperature in the forehead is usually high, at this time, the patient can use a towel to wrap ice packs or ice cubes to cool the forehead to promote the local body temperature reduction. Thing Liang Tong.

5. Appropriate increase or decrease of clothing: When the body is heated, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate increase or decrease of clothing according to the indoor temperature and your own situation, so as not to affect the emission of heat and then affect the cooling effect.

6. Other methods: such as alcohol bath, towel wet compress, hot water foot soaking, adjusting room temperature, cold salt water enema, infusion cooling, etc., can promote the drop of body temperature.

If the physical cooling effect is poor and the body temperature continues to rise, it is recommended to go to the fever clinic or general internal medicine department of the hospital in time, improve the examination of C-reactive protein, blood routine, etc., and use drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and acetaminophen tablets to promote the reduction of body temperature according to the doctor's instructions.

There are two commonly used physical cooling methods: alcohol scrub bath and ice compress.

Alcohol rub bath refers to the use of alcohol-containing cotton balls on both foreheads, neck, and places where the armpits and inguinal arteries pass through repeatedly to achieve the purpose of cooling.

The second method is ice, that is, wrapping ice cubes in a towel or cotton cloth and applying ice cubes to the neck, armpits, groin and other major arteries on both sides can also achieve the effect of cooling.

It should be noted that whether it is an alcohol bath or an ice compress, the patient's body temperature will drop rapidly, and if the ambient temperature is relatively low, it is easy to cause the patient to get cold or even aggravate the fever.

Therefore, the specific choice of physical cooling or drug cooling depends on the temperature of the environment and the tolerance of the patient.
