What are the effective ways to reduce fever in infants
Babies have a delicate constitution and a relatively weak body temperature regulation ability, so they are prone to fever. For babies with fever, parents should deal with it in time to avoid adverse consequences. So, how to quickly relieve baby fever? Here are several methods for your reference.
Physical cooling
Physical cooling is one of the more common and effective methods, which can be carried out in the following ways:
First, dampen a towel with warm or cold water, wring it out, and place it on your baby\’s forehead and neck to effectively dissipate heat. However, it should be noted that the water temperature should not be too low and should be adjusted between 25-28 degrees.
Second, let the baby drink more water, which can speed up perspiration and urination and speed up the heat dissipation process.
Third, let the baby wear less clothes and take off the sheets, cotton socks, etc. to maintain indoor air circulation.
Drug treatment
Medication is also a method commonly used by many parents, but the following points need to be paid attention to:
First of all, do not use medicines on your baby at will. They must be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is strictly prohibited to use expired or expired medicines.
Secondly, determine the dosage and type of medicine to use based on the baby\’s age and weight.
Finally, you need to pay attention to whether the drug will cause side effects and whether it has any contraindications to avoid incorrect use.
Condition observation
Regarding the baby\’s fever, parents should always pay attention to the changes in the baby\’s condition, especially in younger babies. If the condition worsens or the fever persists, they should seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying treatment and causing adverse consequences.
Other tips
When dealing with your baby’s fever, you also need to pay attention to the following tips:
First, keep the baby\’s bedroom environment dry, avoid moisture, and maintain ventilation.
Second, hold your baby often and give him enough care and warmth.
Third, pay attention to the baby\’s feeding situation to ensure the baby\’s adequate water and nutritional intake.
In short, reducing fever in infants requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors in order to quickly and effectively relieve the fever situation and provide a better living environment and health protection for the baby.
