Patient's question:
Hello, when your baby has a fever, should you use a cold towel or a warm towel for physical cooling?Doctor's answer:
You can soak a soft towel in water at 20℃-30℃, gently squeeze it until it doesn't drip, fold it, and place it on your forehead. Change it every 3-5 minutes to effectively lower your body temperature. Additionally, when your temperature is below 38.5°C, you can also use the following methods for physical cooling. Common methods include:1. Cold wet compress on the head, which is the method mentioned above;
2. Head ice pack: Fill a small ice bag halfway with ice cubes and a small amount of water, squeeze the bag to remove air, close the bag tightly, ensure there are no leaks, and place it on your head.
