Fever is the most common disease state in babies, and once a baby develops a fever, the mother will be very worried. But a baby's fever doesn't necessarily mean it's a very serious situation. If the baby has a fever and the temperature is not very high, it doesn't meet the standard for high fever. Physical cooling can be used. So, how to deal with a baby's fever of 38 degrees?
1. A fever of 38 degrees Celsius has already exceeded 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the fever does not exceed 39 degrees Celsius, then this type of fever is moderate fever. Generally speaking, moderate fever does not require medication treatment. As long as the baby's mental state is good and there is no crying, parents can promptly use physical cooling methods to cool down the baby. There is no need to take medication because the side effects of medication are very harmful to the baby.
2. The baby has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, which has exceeded the critical point of 38.5 degrees Celsius. To physically cool down, you can choose to give the baby a warm bath. Taking a warm bath can evaporate the water released and take away the heat from the baby's body, which can have a very good fever reducing effect.
3. Ice or cold compress can also be used. When a baby has a fever and their body temperature is relatively high, they can choose to use ice packs to cool down. Ice packs can be placed on the forehead or armpits to effectively remove excessive body temperature.
4. If the baby has a fever of 38 degrees, the mother needs to monitor the baby's temperature in a timely manner. Once the temperature rises, timely measures need to be taken, such as observing whether the baby's fever has decreased, in order to find better ways to make the baby more comfortable.
