The speed of cooling is too fast and the magnitude is too large, which will cause frostbite and discomfort to the baby's skin. If the cooling effect is high and low, it will not only fail to effectively control the baby's body temperature, but also aggravate the condition. A steady, long-lasting cooling effect keeps the baby's forehead temperature within a safe range to effectively protect the baby's brain from the effects of fever.
