How to reduce fever in children
After a child has a fever, if the body temperature is not high, the spirit is not bad, you can use a warm water bath, warm water wipes, and other physical cooling methods to help him to fever. If your child's body temperature exceeds 38.2 ° C, and the physical cooling method is not effective, you should promptly give him antipyretics to prevent high-temperature convulsions. If your child has a history of high-temperature convulsions, it is recommended to take it early.

Soaking feet can not only speed up blood circulation, improve discomfort, but also help children to cool down. It is recommended that you use a small bucket or foot basin and pour two-thirds of the warm water to soak your feet. The water temperature is slightly higher than usual, so it is better for the child to adapt.
When the child is soaking his feet, it is recommended to help him with two small ankles. This will not only accelerate the expansion of the blood vessels but also relieve the discomfort and make the child feel comfortable.

This law is quite controversial. It is generally considered that the disadvantages are greater than the benefits, but they can be used in small quantities. When a child has a fever, he can apply ice on his forehead or large blood vessels. It is best to wrap a towel around the ice pack to avoid frostbite on the skin.
Please note that this method is not recommended for babies under 6 months. If your child has a fever accompanied by symptoms such as chills and chills, do not apply ice.
