fever is a common clinical symptom in children, and the causes of fever are various. Fever in infants is when the body temperature of the child rises above 39°C, and the duration is relatively long. The mechanism of fever in infants and young children is more complicated. Because the thermoregulatory center of the child has not matured, it is affected by prolonged high fever, which leads to serious complications, which directly threatens the life of the child. Therefore, finding an effective cooling method is of great significance to the treatment of fever in infants and young children. Drug cooling mainly uses conventional antipyretic and analgesic drugs to promote the rapid recovery of the child's body temperature regulation function, and rely on the enhancement of collective perspiration to promote heat dissipation, and achieve the effect of lowering the temperature. Some infants and young children are young and have difficulty in taking medications, and some children have difficulty in taking medications effectively, causing their body temperature to not drop. physical cooling is a common method for clinical treatment of fever in infants and young children. According to the thermal conductivity of liquid, it promotes the rapid heat dissipation of children's body through convection and evaporation principles. Physical cooling is suitable for children with high fever and good circulation. There are many ways to physically cool down, including the aforementioned cold compresses on the head and warm water baths. These methods are generally very simple to do, and there are no adverse effects of drug cooling. Among them, the warm water scrubbing bath is suitable for cooling children with high fever. Warm water at about 32°C to 34°C is used to wipe the skin of the child's whole body. The wiping time can be slightly longer in the axillary, groin, fossa and other blood-rich parts. Conducive to rapid heat dissipation of children. The chest, abdomen and other parts are sensitive to cold stimulation, it is best not to wipe. Physical cooling has the advantages of simple operation and remarkable effect, and it is a treatment method worthy of popularization.
