How to reduce fever physically during confinement?

Physical cooling method is to apply ice on the forehead to cool down. It is an easy method to implement, simple and practical. Because pregnant women cannot take antipyretics during breastfeeding, they can only use physical antipyretic methods to reduce fever. When applying cold compress to pregnant women, wrap the ice in a cotton towel and place it on the pregnant woman's forehead, neck, armpits, etc. The purpose of doing so is to reduce the temperature of the pregnant woman's head, reduce metabolic consumption, and achieve a cooling effect. In addition, ethanol cleaning is also one of the most effective ways to reduce fever. Repeatedly cleaning the armpits, neck, back, palms and soles of pregnant women and other parts of the body where blood vessels are concentrated. During the evaporation process, ethanol will continue to absorb the surrounding heat, which can promote blood flow and accelerate the release of heat, which is very beneficial for reducing fever in pregnant women.
