5 The single false belief about "fever" that many houses still do.

❌ Wrong belief: high fever, must immediately take antipyretic.

✅ Truth: Fever is the mechanism of the body against germs. If the fever is not very high and still active, there is no need to take the medicine immediately. Notice the symptoms. But if the fever is not down, take the medicine first.

❌ Believe it wrong: Wipe the fever reducer, have to wipe the fur garden.

✅ Truth: Actually, wiping along or the garden has no different effect. It is important to use room temperature water (not cold water) to wipe the crook, neck, armpit, and groin. Especially children with fever. The end of the hand is cold, focus on the louder area.

❌ Wrong belief: A very high fever will always cause seizures.

✅ Truth: Fever seizures do not always depend on the height of the fever. They are often found in young children and have other factors, but children under the age of six have a clear right to high fever, so they have to be extra vigilant.

❌ Wrong belief: Fever, need a thick blanket to sweat.

✅ Truth: The thicker the blanket, the higher the body temperature. Some clothes should be comfortable, breathable, so that the body does not keep heat.

⚠️ If the fever exceeds 39.5 ° C in a row for more than 2-3 days or has seepage, seizures, rapid breathing, should see a doctor immediately.
