1. Physical cooling method
1. Cold compress: The body temperature of the whole body or a certain part is lowered by cooling. The principle of cold compress is to cool the body part at the beginning to make the blood vessels of the part constrict, and then expand, the heat is radiated to the whole body through conduction, which can achieve the purpose of cooling down. Generally, cold compresses on the head are the most common. A palm-sized pocket is made of an impermeable material film such as a rubber cloth or a thin plastic film, which is filled with ice water or small ice cubes. Place ice packs on your baby’s forehead, neck, armpits, thighs, etc. It may also be made into a cap-shaped ice pack and put on your baby’s head, made into a pillow like a pillow, or soaked in cold water with a towel Squeeze dry and put a cold compress on the forehead.

You can also use antipyretic stickers to reduce fever, which is more convenient.
2. Appropriate air blow: Fever does not mean that you have to cover it tightly. Appropriate air blow to your baby can accelerate the emission of body temperature and help reduce fever. But be careful not to aim at a certain part of the baby to blow the air, otherwise, it will cause a certain part of the baby to be exposed to wind. You can use an electric fan to blow off the wind or use a shaking head electric fan to blow the air. The wind cannot be too strong and the time cannot be too long. The blowing method is suitable for summer, and can only be used by babies with good physical fitness and high body temperature.
3. Environmental cooling: In the high-temperature season, when the indoor temperature is high, you can pour cold water on the ground, mop the floor with cold water, or start the air conditioner to accelerate indoor ventilation and lower the room temperature, which can help heat the baby with high heat. Don’t cover your baby to death. Untie or take off your baby’s clothes will help dissipate heat.
4. Rubbing with warm water: warm water can dilate and congest blood vessels and improve blood circulation. The heat in the body can be dissipated by conduction. At the same time, it can reduce tissue hypoxia, increase metabolism, reduce the baby’s feeling of pain, and make tissues Relaxation can relieve the pain caused by muscle cramps and stiffness. The mother cools the boiled water to 32℃-36℃ water, soak the towel and wipe the baby’s whole body skin. After rubbing it once, you can stop for a while, and rub it a second time after the moisture on the skin has evaporated, until the body temperature drops significantly. Remember not to use diluted alcohol to bath your baby, it will cause your baby’s body temperature to drop too quickly.
5. Take a warm bath: giving your baby a Sieg warm bath will also help reduce fever. You can also use the warm water mixer method to put your baby in a warm water basin.

The use of antipyretics for newborns is different from adults, and the dosage should be determined according to age and weight. Paracetamol is taken orally and weighs 10-15 mg per kilogram; aspirin is taken orally, 8-10 mg per kilogram of body weight; the tablet is a mixture of aspirin and lumina, suitable for babies with a history of high fever and convulsions. 8-10 mg per kilogram of body weight; Analgin point nose, suitable for babies under 6 months, with 25% of Analgin diluted 1 time and then instilled in the nose, such as 2-6 months old babies can instill 5 10 drops.
For babies with persistent high fever, Chinese medicine Zixuesan can also be used. The most commonly used antipyretic for mothers is Merrill, that is, ibuprofen suspension, the dosage is 0.25-0.5ml/kg/time, and can be used repeatedly within 6-8 hours. Generally, use 5 ml/time for 2-3 years old. Tylenol is best for infants under three years of age, 0.4 ml/time for 0-3 months, 0.8 ml/time for 4-11 months, 1.2 ml/time for 12-23 months, 24-36 months Use 1.6 ml/time.
