Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old girl has had a persistent fever for two weeks, and the use of fever-reducing medication has had no significant effect. How should it be handled?
Answer
For a one-and-a-half-year-old baby with persistent high fever, it is recommended to use physical cooling methods. Traditional fever-reducing medication, taken orally, acts on the body’s internal mechanisms to achieve cooling, affecting the whole body. Fever patches, on the other hand, utilize the moisture and cooling ingredients in the high molecular weight gel to dissipate heat through the skin, thereby achieving physical cooling effects.
