Tips for reducing fever in one-year-old babies
It is common for one-year-old babies to have a fever. Once a baby has a fever, parents should take timely measures to reduce adverse symptoms and ensure that the baby grows up healthily and happily. Here are some common fever-reducing tips and precautions:
Rub your body with warm water to keep your baby clean
Parents can use warm water to wipe the baby\’s body, which can quickly lower the baby\’s body temperature. In addition, the baby\’s clothes, sheets and quilts should be changed regularly and kept clean and hygienic to prevent further infection by bacteria and viruses. To ensure that babies are not frightened, parents should remember to use warm water for wiping, rather than cold or hot water.
Drink more water to avoid dehydration and ulcers
When a baby has a fever, water in the body will be lost quickly. At this time, parents can give their babies more water to drink. At the same time, you can also use salt water and lemon juice to help your baby supplement trace elements. But when feeding and drinking water, be careful not to make the temperature too high. In addition, babies may suffer from dry mouth and skin due to dehydration. Parents should clean their baby\’s mouth, eyes and external auditory canal promptly to avoid ulcers and other serious diseases.
Come to your door for help promptly and pay attention to your baby’s health
Some potential problems may not be easily discovered by parents. In this case, it is a wise choice to seek help from a doctor. During the fever period, parents should pay close attention to the baby\’s health and observe the baby\’s breathing and heartbeat at any time. If symptoms persist or your body temperature continues to rise, you should consult a doctor promptly.
Psychological counseling, protecting baby’s health
Many parents feel very anxious and uneasy when their baby has a fever. Parents need to communicate patiently with their babies and give them enough attention and comfort. In addition, you can also use some quiet toys for your baby to relax your baby\’s body and mind and relieve anxiety.
In short, when the baby\’s fever subsides, parents should take timely measures to maintain the baby\’s hygiene, detect the condition in time, safely protect the baby\’s health, and allow the baby to grow happily during the smooth treatment process.
