How to lower Isthmus in Adults and Children

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

1. Go to bed.

Excessive exercise causes the body to overheat. Therefore, when the fever rises, it is necessary to move less and move to a horizontal position.

2. If possible, take off your outerwear and wear breathable clothing.

The body needs to sweat. Sweat radiates from the surface of the body. This process allows the body to cool naturally. If a tingling sensation is observed, throw a lighter blanket over you.

3. Drink more fluids.

During fever, the body actively sweats. On the one hand it is useful - sweating lowers fever. Harmful on the other hand - dehydration of the organism. The lower the humidity, the more difficult the thermoregulation. In addition, dehydration is harmful to health. During the disease, however, it is more pronounced. Therefore, drink as much fluid as possible to prevent dehydration: water, tea, compote, walrus and so on. Also, monitor your general condition: dry lips, decreased urination, discoloration of the urine - all signs of dehydration.

Regidron or isotonic sports drinks are also good for replenishing the body with fluids. They hold the electrolytes needed for metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

4. Take over-the-counter painkillers

Paracetamol-containing drugs are best. Ibuprofen has a number of contraindications: It should not be given to children under 6 months of age; In addition, if the fever is caused by chickenpox, it can aggravate the general condition of the body. If normal paracetamol does not lower the fever, ibuprofen-containing medications can be taken.

5. Apply a cold compress to the forehead and wipe the body with a damp cloth.

This treatment has a significant effect, although it reduces the fever for a while. It is recommended to use the drug until the effect is known.

How not to lower the fever.
