A sick child always causes anxiety among parents, especially in those cases when, due to his age, he is not yet able to voice what exactly worries him. Many mothers feel the temperature of the child without a thermometer, focusing only on the peculiarities of the baby's behavior, but not in all cases it is necessary to run to the pharmacy for medicines.
It is necessary
Antipyretics, vodka, vinegar, water, cotton wool, or a wipe
Instructions
Step 1
In childhood, the temperature is lower than 38 degrees, it does not go astray. The only exceptions are those children who have a tendency to seizures. Most often, such children have problems in the area of neurology and even a small rise in temperature is dangerous for them. In search of an answer to the question of how to bring down the temperature of a child, one should start from two possible ways of solving the problem. The first way is medication. If the temperature approaches 39 degrees, it is necessary to give the child a remedy for the temperature in the amount that is adapted for his age. For the smallest, candles will be the most convenient form, and syrups with paracetamol are suitable for older children. In infancy, the calculation of the medication is based on the weight of the child. The time between doses of antipyretic varies from 4 to 6 hours.
Step 2
The second way by which the temperature in a child can be lowered involves folk remedies. This is rubbing the hands and feet of the feet with vodka or a child, which is also not needed. This composition cools, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the child will react negatively to this procedure. You should not wrap up the baby, as the body should cool freely.
Step 3
You can also try wraps. For this, the baby is undressed, a sheet or diaper is moistened in water at room temperature and for 15 minutes they cover the baby's legs up to the ankles. This procedure is done when the child is very hot.
