Do you want to take off the heat patch to reduce the fever?

One of the biggest characteristics of children's fever is that their body temperature rises quickly and drops quickly. Especially because many parents will put antipyretic stickers on their children when they have a fever. However, do children need to continue to use it after their fever has gone down? Should I take off the hot paste when the fever has gone down? Does the antipyretic patch need to be used completely according to the time specified in the instructions?

First of all, don't think the antipyretic paste is complicated. The principle of antipyretic stickers is actually very simple, that is, physical cooling.

The antipyretic patch is composed of hydrophilic polymer gel (containing 80% pure water, mint and pigment). It is definitely not the coolness caused by the stimulation of borneol and mint, but the water in the gel evaporates during use, thus evaporating the heat in the body. Therefore, it has a physical cooling effect on fever caused by cold, infection and other reasons, and takes away a lot of heat in human body, which is much more than ordinary water evaporation, and does not destroy the immune function system reaction of infants. Belonging to common physical cooling supplies.

In fact, the antipyretic patch is equivalent to putting a cold towel on your forehead. However, the antipyretic patch is much more convenient than changing cold towels back and forth. After all, an antipyretic patch can last for 6-8 hours.

Generally, when the body temperature drops below 38℃, there is no need for antipyretic stickers. Antipyretic paste is a physical cooling product, which can only relieve the symptoms of fever, but can't fundamentally eliminate the causes of fever, so it doesn't need to cool down, and it won't have other therapeutic effects if it is pasted again. There is no need to post it. Antipyretic patch is a common physical cooling product, which takes away a lot of local heat of human body through the evaporation of water in gel, but it can't solve all the root causes of fever.

What should I do if I have a fever repeatedly after sticking an antipyretic sticker? Because the child's adaptability to the external environment is poor, the body's immune system has not been fully developed, and it is easy to cause fever symptoms with a little discomfort, or the body temperature rises rapidly after taking medicine to reduce fever. Especially in the hot summer, if parents use air conditioning improperly or the baby drinks less water and doesn't adapt to the hot weather, it will cause repeated fever.

There are many reasons for fever: mainly bacteria and viruses invade, causing respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, leading to fever. What parents can do is to give enough nutrition according to their children's age and physical development, and add complementary food in a timely, reasonable and balanced manner.

1. External factors: The child's body temperature is affected by the external environment, such as wearing too much clothes, drinking too little water, and the indoor air is not circulating in hot days.

2. Internal causes: illness, cold, tracheitis, pharyngolaryngitis or other diseases.

3. Other factors: such as vaccination, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, cough and tetanus.

In particular, parents should be reminded that if the child's fever does not improve for more than three days, or if the baby has a high fever or convulsions, he should seek medical treatment in time so as to find out the cause and treat the symptoms.
