How to reduce fever during confinement?

During the confinement period, the mother's body resistance is the weakest and she is easily invaded by diseases. If a woman develops cold symptoms during the confinement period, such as fever, she must not take any medicine, and she dare not take any. Because many drugs are toxic in themselves, if taken, the drug ingredients will definitely be absorbed into the breast milk, which is very harmful to the baby. So, what is the best way to reduce fever when a woman has a fever during confinement?

Scrub with warm water

Scrubbing with warm water is also a method that everyone can understand. The method of scrubbing with warm water is to use warm water to scrub the whole body, dilate the blood vessels in the skin to increase blood flow, speed up the blood flow rate throughout the mother's body, and can also reduce fever. However, it should be noted that not all pregnant women can reduce fever using this method. Depending on the cause of the fever, finding the root cause is the most important thing.

Physical cooling

Physical cooling is a common and easy measure for people to take, such as applying ice cubes to the forehead to cool down. Because mothers cannot take antipyretics during breastfeeding, they can only use physical cooling methods to reduce fever. Especially when applying ice to a mother, the ice should be wrapped in a towel and placed on the mother's forehead, neck, armpits, etc. The purpose of this is to lower the temperature of the mother's head, reduce metabolic consumption, and achieve a cooling effect.

Alcohol scrub

It is also one of the very effective methods for reducing fever. Repeatedly scrubbing the mother's armpits, neck, back, palms and soles and other parts of the body with dense blood vessels. Alcohol will continuously absorb the surrounding heat during the evaporation process, which can promote blood flow and accelerate the dissipation of heat, which is very beneficial for reducing fever in mothers.

Orange peel ginger brown sugar tea

Cut 10 grams each of orange peel and ginger into thin strips, add water and boil until half a bowl remains. Add appropriate amount of brown sugar when taking it and drink it while hot. Cover yourself with a blanket and sleep after taking it, which will help reduce fever.

Hot water foot bath

Soak your feet in relatively hot water (the temperature should be unbearable) for 15 minutes every night. Make sure the water level covers your feet and your feet turn red after soaking to prevent fever.

Eat green onions raw

When eating green onions raw, you can heat the oil and pour it on the finely chopped green onion, then eat it cold with tofu and other foods. It is not only delicious but also can prevent fever.
