What are the nursing measures for children with fever?

The nursing care measures for children with fever mainly include the following aspects: 1. Physical cooling: If the child's body temperature is below 38.5°C, antipyretic medication may be temporarily avoided. Physical cooling can be achieved by wiping the neck, armpits, groin, and other areas with a warm towel. Fever-reducing patches can also be applied to the forehead. 2. Medication for fever reduction: When body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen or paracetamol should be administered. However, medication must be taken according to medical instructions; dosage should not be altered without authorization. 3. Nutritional support: During fever, provide light, nutritious, and easily digestible food to ensure balanced nutrition and enhance the child's immunity. 4. Prevention of dehydration: Encourage the child to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. 5. Daily care: Ensure the child has adequate rest and avoid excessive physical activity. Maintain oral and skin hygiene, and adjust clothing appropriately to avoid excessive warming, which may interfere with heat dissipation.
