Parents can physically cool the baby at home, do not "cover" the baby, let the baby's body quickly dissipate heat, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing body temperature. Cooling down is not a cure, just making the baby more comfortable. In most cases, cooling treatment is not required until your baby is not visibly uncomfortable.

Third, the practical physical cooling method at home
When your child has a fever, you must not "cover". When fever, the child should be given less clothes, less cover the quilt, in order to facilitate heat dissipation, not to add more quilts, thinking that "covering up a body of sweat" will reduce fever, which may lead to high fever and even convulsions.
1. Warm water bath: the water temperature is about 37 °C, which stimulates the passive expansion of blood vessels and promotes heat dissipation. When rubbing the bath, use even force to stay slightly longer in the abundant blood vessels such as armpits and groin to help dissipate heat. Wrap the child in a large towel after warm water.
2. Alcohol bath: Children over 1 year old can rub alcohol bath. Alcohol is generally 30% to 50% concentration is appropriate, and the temperature is 32 ° C ~ 35 ° C. After dipping in alcohol with gauze or a towel, wipe regularly.
3. Cold compress for the head: soak the towel with cool water or apply an ice pack to the forehead of the child, and change it every 5 to 10 minutes.
4． Hot water soaking method: you can use warm water at a temperature of about 40 ° C to soak your feet, and the water should not exceed the ankle. Rubbing your baby's two little feet is conducive to vasodilation and reduces the discomfort caused by fever.
Notes:
1. Wear light and thin clothes for the baby, which is conducive to heat dissipation. Do not "sweat" the baby, otherwise it may accelerate the baby's body temperature rise.
2. The air conditioner can be turned on to help the baby cool down, but attention should be paid to maintaining air circulation. The window should be opened for ventilation every 1 to 2 hours, and each ventilation time should be guaranteed to be at least 10 to 30 minutes. In addition, the air conditioning temperature can not be turned on too low.
3. Fever can cause loss of water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin B and C. Therefore, during the fever period of children, parents can let children eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and drink more water. The diet should be based on liquid and semi-liquid, such as milk, rice soup, mung bean soup, and meat soup with less oil. When the child's body temperature drops and the appetite improves, he can change to a semi-liquid diet, such as lotus flour, porridge, egg soup, etc., to the principle of light and easy to digest, a small number of meals.
4. Generally sleep restlessness, irritability, poor appetite, and decreased activity are typical uncomfortable manifestations of children, and these symptoms are considered to take antipyretic drugs despite low body temperature. Or the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C, and only then do you need to consider antipyretic drugs.
5. When the baby's fever temperature is getting lower and lower, and the fever interval is getting longer and longer, it means that the child's condition is getting better.
