When the child's body temperature rises, use a hot towel
1. Why do some parents find that the child is still 38°C when taking the temperature of the child? After ten or twenty minutes, it will become 39°C? The reason is here, because the child is in the "period of rising body temperature."
2, at this time, parents must not use cold towels to apply. The body surface needs heat. If you use a cold towel to compete for heat, the central nervous system can only increase heat production, and the child's body temperature will definitely rise higher.
3. Therefore, when the child is in the rising period of fever, be sure to use a warm towel to wipe the area where the large blood vessels are distributed in the belly, underarms, and legs. Although the child's body temperature may still rise in this way, it will not rise too high all of a sudden.
A cold towel can be used when the child’s body temperature is stable, after a drop or later.
1. When the child’s body temperature is in a stable period, for example, the fever has been maintained at 39°C for a short period of time, which indicates that the fever’s central medium has been released or temporarily reported One paragraph.
2. At this time, parents can apply a cold towel to the child's head, or use a cold towel to wipe the armpits, neck, leg sockets and other large blood vessels. This can help the child cool down and reduce the fever, and can also prevent the child's body temperature from rising again.
3. The other is the period of body temperature decline, which is the period when the body is slowly dissipating heat. This period is characterized by the dominant heat dissipation process, the role of heat sources in the body gradually disappears or weakens, and heat production begins to decrease. The child's skin and blood vessels begin to expand, and a lot of sweat will occur at this time.
