How does baby have a fever 38 degrees to do

1. Wear less clothes to cool the children. The traditional idea is that when a child has a fever, he has to wrap the child tightly with clothes and quilts to "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. When a child has a fever, he or she will shiver. Parents will think that his or her child is cold. In fact, this is because of the spasm caused by their rising body temperature.

2. To help children cool down physically, there are the following common methods: (1) cold wet compress on the head: soak the soft towel with 20 ℃ - 30 ℃ cold water, squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping, fold it and place it on the forehead, and replace it every 3-5 minutes. (2) head ice pillow: put small pieces of ice and a small amount of water into the ice bag until half full, discharge the air in the bag, press the bag mouth tightly, and place them on the pillow after no water leakage. (3) warm water wipe or warm water bath: wipe the child's head, armpit, limbs with a warm wet towel or take a warm water bath, scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation. (4) alcohol bath: suitable for high heat cooling. Prepare 200-300 ml of 20% - 35% alcohol, wipe and bath limbs and back.

3. Add enough water and don't take medicine casually. High fever breathing faster, sweating makes the body lose a lot of water, so parents should give the child enough water when he has a fever, this can not only give the child to supplement the lack of water, but also can play a role in increasing urination and detoxification.
