If
your kid has a fever and you don't have access to ibuprofen or
acetaminophen, you can give a go to a non-medical approach to reduce
your kid's fever.
Here it's important to keep in mind that
lowering your kid's fever can't help you cure the underlying problem or
illness. Actually, you get a fever when your body is trying to fight
infection. However, it's important to bring the fever under control if
it's too high. Your kid shouldn't feel too dehydrated or uncomfortable.
Given below are a few methods you can try at home. Read on to know more.
Your
first approach is to put a cool, damp cloth on the forehead of your
kid. Make sure your kid is lying on the bed while you perform this
treatment.
Your second approach should be to give your kid a
sponge or lukewarm bath. Water evaporation leaves the skin cool and
brings the fever down. It's not a good idea to use cold water for this
purpose. Cold water will make your kid shiver, which may increase his
fever further. In the same way, it's not recommended that you use
rubbing alcohol either as it may cause alcohol poisoning or temperature
spikes.
Ask your kid to drink plenty of fluids. You can opt for
yogurt and ice pops, for instance, to reduce the temperature from the
inside. Hydration helps cool down your body. Ideally, your kid should
drink as much water as they can. Make sure the water is cool, not cold.
You
can also use a fan. However, make sure the air is not too cold. So,
it's important to keep the settings low. The air should circulate around
them instead of blowing directly on their face.
Ask your kid to
remove the extra layers of clothing. This will help your kid lose heat
through their skin. Moreover, you might want to dress her in a single
layer. However, the layer should be light. If she starts shivering, you
can put a blanket on her until she feels better again. However, make
sure the blanket is warm.
If you are indoors, the place should be cool. If you are outdoors, make sure you stay in the shade of a tree or something.
Here,
it's a must that you call the doctor right immediately if your kid is
under 3 months old. If your baby's age is under 3 months and her fever
is 101 degrees or worse, you need a doctor. On the other hand, if she is
more than 6 months old, you need a doctor's assistance if her
temperature is 102 degrees.
Regardless of your kid's age, you
might want to call the doctor, especially if she has many other symptoms
as well, such as purple spots or difficulty breathing. Generally, these
symptoms are signs of a bacterial infection. In this case, you can do
nothing except contact a doctor.
Long story short, these are a few
effective approaches that you can use to lower your kid's temperature
if you can't get medical attention due to some reason.
