When a baby has a low fever, it is important to understand whether it is caused by some virus or bacterial infection. If the low fever is not very serious, parents do not need to worry too much and can help the baby lower their temperature through some physical cooling methods. Of course, if the condition is severe and the fever is high, it is still necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
Drink plenty of water. Give the baby plenty of water to drink daily, as drinking water can help replenish body fluids. Some babies may experience dehydration when they have a low fever, so it is necessary to replenish the body with enough liquid water in time. The body temperature will gradually return to normal, and drinking plenty of water is also conducive to the excretion of viruses.
Reduce clothing. At the same time, reduce the baby's clothing. Many parents or some elderly people believe that when a baby has a fever, they should dress them warmly or cover them with a blanket to induce sweating, thinking that this will naturally reduce the fever. However, this method is very wrong because it is not conducive to the baby's body heat dissipation and may even lead to other harms.
Wipe with warm water. It is recommended to adopt physical cooling methods, which involve using a warm water towel to wipe the baby's forehead, palms, and feet to lower their temperature. Alternatively, giving the baby a warm bath can also help reduce their body temperature.
