1. Physical cooling should be the main method when newborns have fever, and do not use antipyretic drugs lightly. If you really want to use drugs, it must be done under the guidance of medical staff.
2. If the room temperature of the baby is too high, try to lower the temperature, and at the same time, slightly unwrap the newborn to facilitate the dissipation of heat. Don’t use the method of covering heat. If the package is too tight, the heat will not escape and the body temperature will rise further.
3. If the newborn’s body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, use a warm towel to wipe the forehead, neck, underarms, limbs and the roots of the thighs to promote heat dissipation from the skin. At this time, you should also feed your baby more boiled water to help excrete toxins.
4. Once the baby’s fever exceeds 39 degrees and there is no sign of fever after a period of time, be sure to take the baby to see a doctor immediately to see if there is any serious illness.
