What is the fastest cooling method for children with fever?

The child has a fever. Don’t panic！ Because the temperature regulation function of newborns is not perfect, it is far less than that of adults, so their heat preservation and heat dissipation function is poor. Therefore, when the ambient temperature changes slightly or gets sick, the temporary negligence of adults, such as excessive warmth or insufficient water supply, may lead to children's fever.

Hello, I'm Dr. Zheng. Glad to answer your question!

Fever manifests itself as the child's own struggle with disease and evil! On the other hand, the child's resistance is still good.

Many parents are anxious to cool their children. This idea is incorrect! Too fast cooling is not conducive to the recovery of the child's condition.

First of all, if the child's temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, we can choose to take a bath with warm water to physically cool down. Remember, you can't use alcohol bath to cool down, the child will twitch.

In addition, you can also use the method of massage for children in traditional Chinese medicine to help children reduce fever. Qingtianhe has a good effect on the fever of middle and low heat. It is not difficult to operate. Put our forefinger and middle finger together, and then push them from the child's wrist to the elbow socket for 300 times.

Then, if the child's temperature rises above 38.5 degrees Celsius, we can use antipyretics. The preferred antipyretic is ibuprofen. If children resist taking medicine, we can choose acetaminophen suppository.

Remember! It usually takes about 30 minutes for antipyretics to take effect, so parents should not take them rashly.

After helping the child to reduce the fever, we will help the child check the blood routine to determine whether the child is infected by virus or bacteria.

If it is a viral infection, antibiotics are not needed. If it is a serious bacterial infection, you need to use antibiotics.

I hope my answer can help you.

Fever is a disease that adults and children often suffer from. When a child is sick, parents are often very anxious and most afraid of scalding their children.

Babies, in particular, cannot be expressed in words, but can only be expressed by crying. Parents must always pay attention to their children.

Children with fever must know some common sense, and don't panic then.

First of all, know the baby's normal temperature reference value:

The oral temperature ranges from 36.7℃ to 37.7℃

Axillary temperature ranges from 36.0℃ to 37.4℃

The rectal temperature is between 36.9℃ and 37.9℃

Generally speaking, the baby's armpit temperature exceeds 37.5℃, indicating that the baby has a fever.

Fever index:

The axillary temperature is above 37.4℃, and the body temperature fluctuates by 65438 0℃ a day.

Low heat 37.5℃~38℃

Moderate heat is 38. 1~39℃

High fever 39. 1~40℃

Ultra-high fever is above 465438 0℃

A fever of more than two weeks is a long-term fever.

What should the baby do if he has a fever?

1. Pay attention to rest

2. Replenish water in time

3. The child has no appetite at this time, and breast milk should be fed several times. Don't be impatient and reprimand your baby; The complementary food should be light, liquid and nutritious.

4. Low fever can physically cool down. Wipe the baby's whole body with warm water with a towel, including neck, armpit, elbow and groin, every time 10 minutes or more;

Moderate fever can be treated with drugs, or you can go to pharmacies and hospitals for consultation.

6. Parents should not hesitate to seek medical treatment immediately for high fever and ultra-high fever.

I don't think there is any quickest way. If the child does not exceed 38.5, I usually give the child a antipyretic sticker, so the negative impact may be less. I can't give my child the habit of taking medicine, otherwise it will form dependence in the future. Of course, I have to observe the child's mental state.

There is no fastest way to cool down.

The causes of fever are different, the course of disease is different, and the treatment methods are different. For example, children's acute rash and herpetic angina are all acute diseases. Fever is the characteristic of the disease, and it must be burned to a sufficient degree to reduce the fever. Even if you take medicine to cool down, you will still have repeated high fever. This is the development of the disease. If pneumonia is caused by some bacteria, you can take medicine, injection and infusion in time to kill the bacteria, so that the time to reduce fever will be shortened. However, children's acute rash, herpetic angina, viral cold and other problems are all caused by viral infection, and there is no specific antiviral drug at present. Fortunately, these diseases are self-healing diseases. With a little treatment, you'll get well when you get sick.

At present, acetaminophen and ibuprofen are the two safest antipyretics for children. These are two main components. No matter how many kinds of antipyretics are on the market, they can't escape. They are all compound medicines. If the antipyretic ingredients of western Asia are added to Chinese patent medicines, the problems of manufacturing and packaging will change. The dosage of acetaminophen is the same and the effect is the same. If the dosage is increased without authorization in pursuit of rapid cooling, there will be side effects.

Fever such as a cold will not burn the brain at all, nor will it burn pneumonia or myocarditis. Even if pneumonia and myocarditis were really diagnosed later, it was not caused by fever, but by virus and bacterial infection. Febrile drugs have no effect on killing bacteria and viruses, and rapid cooling will not bring about essential changes. If you are a child with a history of convulsions, you should pay attention to the possibility that high fever may induce convulsions. The child's thermoregulation center cannot be flexibly mastered, and the function of fever and heat dissipation is immature. The body temperature drops rapidly, then bounces back and gives off fever repeatedly. Large temperature difference is more likely to cause discomfort and convulsions. It is best to stabilize the temperature.

Generally, antipyretics are taken at 38.5 degrees, but it is still necessary to combine the characteristics of the disease and the comprehensive physical condition of the child. If the child is in good condition, he can eat, sleep, run and adjust. 38.5 degrees, he can also temporarily stop taking drugs for observation. If it is 38.3 degrees, but the child's condition is poor, you can also take antipyretics at 38.3 degrees.

Other physical cooling: warm water bath, cold water wiping, forehead sticking, ice pack, etc. can make children comfortable and reduce local temperature, but they can not effectively achieve the essential cooling.

The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine makes children less sick and parents more worry-free!

As for the problem of fever, it's a cliche. The way I give my child a fever is as follows, which is also summarized according to my baby's fever in recent years and the doctor's advice. I hope it helps you. First of all, a child's fever depends on whether the child has a high fever or a low fever. Usually I regard it as a low-grade fever below 38 degrees. My treatment of low-grade fever is generally to give children more baths, take warm baths and drink more boiled water, which will help their metabolism to be fast and observe their mental state. If the doll is in a good mental state, it can be observed all day. If the child is in a bad mental state, you should pay more attention. Wipe the armpits and thigh roots when taking a warm bath, and then continue to observe (I always do this for our dolls when they have a fever, taking a warm bath twice a day). Secondly, pay attention to what causes the doll to have a fever. There are many reasons for fever, such as food accumulation or a cold. These adults should observe carefully, and children should pay special attention to stool when they have a fever.
