Do not rush to have a high fever

If your doctor determines that you have a cold, it is best not to rush to take antipyretics to the extent you can tolerate it. Fever is one of the mechanisms by which the body fights infections. Our body mobilizes its own defense system by raising body temperature to kill foreign germs (generally, germs will die above 39 ° C), thereby shortening the disease time and enhancing the effect of antibiotics. If you use medicine to reduce fever at the beginning of a cold (37-38.5 ° C), the bacteria in the body will temporarily become suspended, and they will become resistant. Once the resurgence occurs, it is more difficult to treat.

Fever with cold

Use cold compresses to help lower your body temperature. Put a wet towel on your forehead, wrist, and calf, and cover other parts with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, it should be changed once and repeated until the fever subsides. You can also wrap the ice cubes in a cloth bag and put them on your forehead.

High fever

If the body temperature is not too high, you can use heat to reduce fever. Wipe the patient's forehead and limbs repeatedly with a hot, wet towel to allow the body to dissipate heat until the fever has subsided.

However, if the body temperature rises above 39 ° C, do not use hot compresses to reduce fever. Instead, use cold compresses to prevent the body temperature from continuing to rise.

High fever to wipe the body

Evaporation does cool down. Experts recommend using cold tap water to help the skin dissipate too much heat. Although you can wipe (with a sponge) your entire body, you should particularly strengthen some parts of the body temperature, such as the armpits and rat's crotch. After squeezing out too much water from the sponge, wipe one part at a time, and cover the other parts with clothing. Body temperature will evaporate this moisture and help dissipate heat.

High fever bath

Sometimes taking a warm bath is the most comfortable. It can also relieve the symptoms of fever. Babies should bathe in warm water or wrap the baby in a wet towel and change every 15 minutes.

Fever supplement fluid

When you have a high fever, your body will sweat to dissipate heat; but when you have a high fever, the body will close the sweat glands because it loses too much water to prevent further water loss, which prevents your body from dissipating heat. The solution is to replenish liquids and drink plenty of boiled water and fruit and vegetable juices. The fruit and vegetable juices are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially beet juice and carrot juice. If you want to drink tomato juice, use low sodium products. Avoid solid food during fever until the condition improves.

If the vomiting is not serious, you can also take ice to reduce fever. Pour fruit juice into the ice box, ice it into ice cubes, and put grapes or strawberries in the ice tray. This is especially popular with children with high fever.

Fever with proper medication

If you feel very uncomfortable, take painkillers. Adults take 2 aspirin or 2 paracetamol, every 4 hours-once. Paracetamol has the advantage that fewer people are allergic to it. Since aspirin and paracetamol work a little differently, if you feel that using either one is not effective in controlling your high fever, you may wish to use both. Take 2 aspirin and 2 paracetamol every 6 hours. When taking these drugs, you must first obtain the consent of your doctor.

High fever disables aspirin

Adolescents under the age of 18 should never take aspirin. This is because aspirin may cause a child with a high fever to develop a type of Raynard syndrome, a fatal neurological disease. Children can use paracetamol instead. Take 5-7 mg per pound of body weight, calculate the dosage, and take it every 4 hours. Remember, increasing the frequency of use or exceeding the proper dose is dangerous, and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Have a high fever

If you feel hot, take off too much clothing so that the heat from your body can radiate. But if this makes you shiver, it means that there is too little clothing and it should be added until it is not cold.

If the patient is a small baby, special care needs to be taken because they have not yet expressed their feelings. In fact, giving children a lot of clothes or putting them in a very hot place may cause a high fever.

At the same time, do not make the room temperature too high. Doctors usually recommend not to exceed 20 ° C. At the same time, the room should be properly ventilated to help recovery and maintain soft light to relax the patient.
