Caring For Baby's Fever
How long should a cooling gel patch be applied?
Usually, a cooling gel patch lasts between four and eight hours, depending on the instructions that come with the cooling gel patch and the child's temperature. If the child's fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees and is still in the febrile stage, parents can keep the cooling gel patch on the child's skin and keep the child hydrated until the child's temperature drops after a few hours.
Once the fever has subsided, parents can remove the cooling gel patch and do not need to reapply it. If your child's temperature is above 38.5 degrees, the use of the cooling gel patch is not effective and you should take your child to hospital. If your child's illness recurs after using the cooling gel patch, you should also see a doctor. It is important to choose the right medication for your child's fever as nasal congestion can easily cause brain damage if left untreated. The main cause of your child's fever is a viral infection. In addition to reducing the fever, it is important to address both the symptoms and the root cause of the infection.
Can cooling gel patch be used continuously?
The cooling gel patch can be used continuously. As it is a physical cooling method, it will have no adverse effects and can be kept on until the fever has gone down. If the cooling gel patch has not yet expired but the baby's temperature has dropped below 37.5 degrees, the cooling gel patch can be removed. Even after removing the cooling gel patch, parents should still keep an eye on their child's mental state.
To maintain hygiene and freezing effect, please use each cooling gel patch once, do not use it repeatedly as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect. Do not reuse in the freezer, as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect. A cooling gel patch will become thin after 8 hours of use and should be replaced with a new one.
Many children's cooldown patches are so irritating that they cause red spots in and around the patch. It is advisable to read the ingredients when buying a cooling gel patch, and to choose a major brand for greater protection.
