Anti-relapse fever or flu-ridden, 3 ways to cool down, don't care, the brain is relaxed
Everyone knows that spring is the peak of the flu virus. Its
main feature is the onset of acute illness, which can lead to persistent fever,
and if not effectively treated or cause respiratory failure, which is life
threatening. Think of ways to reduce fever in time to avoid damage to the
brain.
Why does the flu have a fever?
When the flu virus enters the body, the immune system and
nervous system work together to destroy the virus. At this time, the nervous
system will increase body temperature, slowing down the rate of virus
replication and spread. The immune system is responsible for killing the virus.
Influenza is usually caused by a B or A virus. When the virus invades the body,
it parasites and multiplies in the respiratory epithelial cells. When the
number of reproduction reaches the limit, the virus will destroy normal cells
and some viruses will be released. When the virus is released to kill the virus
in the body, the nervous system will suddenly raise the body temperature,
causing repeated fever.
What to do with the repeated fever caused by the flu?
1. Observe mental state
If the symptoms of high fever do not return after the flu or
repeated high fever symptoms, the mental state is good, and the fever is normal
after taking the antipyretic medicine, which indicates that it is mild flu, and
you need to continue observation at home.
If you have general weakness,
indifferent expressions, convulsions, and jet vomiting, it means that you are
seriously ill and go to the hospital in time. Also, if you find your face dark
Light, yellow or purple, and dull eyes, indicating serious
illness. If the skin becomes cold, it means circulatory failure, and seek
medical treatment in time to avoid life-threatening.
2. Cold and wet compresses to reduce fever
Prepare a few towels and soak them in cold water, twist them
to dryness, and then apply them to the large blood vessels such as the face,
forehead, groin, and armpits. Changing them every 5 minutes can reduce blood
temperature and help reduce fever. Especially cold forehead can prevent brain
damage.
3. Warm water scrubbing bath or warm water bath
Unwrap all the clothes, soak the towel in warm water at 37 °
C, twist it to dryness, rub the whole body, or take a bath. It can dilate the
blood vessels in the skin and absorb part of the body heat through the
evaporation of water. Take a bath for 10 ~ 15 minutes each time and take a bath
every 6 hours. Body temperature was measured 30 minutes after warm water
scrubbing.
