How should child fever 38 degrees above do?

The traditional idea is that when the baby has a fever, it is necessary to wrap the baby tightly with a quilt and "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. When a baby has a fever, he or she will shiver because of the spasm caused by his or her rising temperature.

Cold wet compress on the head: wet 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. Head ice pillow: put small 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 it on the pillow after no water leakage.

Alcohol bath: suitable for high temperature. Prepare 20% - 35% alcohol 200-300 ml, wipe and bath limbs and back. Warm water wipe or warm water bath: wipe the child's head, armpit, limbs with a warm wet towel or take a warm bath. Scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation.

matters needing attention

If the baby is artificially fed, it can be fed diluted skim milk, that is, 2 or 3 parts of milk plus 1 part of water, and the intake can be equal to the usual. At this time, although the actual amount of milk consumed by the baby is reduced, it is more conducive to digestion and absorption.
