I don’t know when to start, antipyretic stickers have become standard for fever. No matter adults or children, as long as they have a fever, no matter their body temperature or their state, they should first put a sticker on their foreheads. As for whether the sticker is useful or not, it will bring what feelings to children, and no one cares.
Fever is good for the child’s recovery.
Elevated body temperature can reduce the replication and reproduction of microorganisms in children’s bodies, and can also improve the inflammatory reaction of human bodies, which is conducive to the removal of pathogenic microorganisms. Fever is beneficial to the recovery of children’s illness. It is wrong to think about reducing fever for children as soon as they have a fever. It is more important to pay attention to TA’s mental reaction than to pay attention to body temperature.
Children have a fever, the first principle is to try to make the child comfortable, according to this principle, when the child has no obvious discomfort, in addition to let him drink more water, less clothing, does not need to do any what treatment, naturally also do not need to stick antipyretic sticker. Even if the body temperature is really high, over 39 C or the child is very uncomfortable, need to reduce fever, antipyretic sticker has a effect?
There is no antipyretic patch in the treatment guidelines for reducing fever.
If the antipyretic method is effective, Naturally, there will be professional organizations recommending, At present, it is recognized that the effective method to reduce fever is antipyretic, Also known as ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The main purpose of using antipyretics is also to relieve children’s pain. Not just to reduce fever. [1] Regarding the treatment of fever reduction, there is no mention of antipyretic patches in China’s guidelines for children with fever, the American Academy of Pediatrics [2], the Canadian Association of Pediatricians [1], or the British NICE [3]. Antipyretic patches are mainly popular in East Asian countries.
The antipyretic patch is only a physical cooling
How does antipyretic paste reduce fever? Some instructions say that the heat is taken away by the volatilization of water vapor from hydrogel, This is actually the way to physically cool down. In fact, Don’t say a piece of hydrogel that’s not the size of a slap, Even if the child is soaked in warm water, the cooling effect is very limited. < < Nielsen Pediatrics > > clearly states that physical cooling has no effect. Britain [3] and Canada [1] do not recommend warm water bath. The American Academy of Pediatrics also believes that it is more convenient for drugs to cool down in most cases. Only when children are intolerant or allergic to antipyretics can warm water bath be given priority [4].
Another reason why some parents like to use antipyretic patches may be that they feel that they have a fever and need to protect their heads. Because many people think that fever will burn out their heads, The fact is that unless it is hyperthermia above 41 ° C or fever caused by intracranial infection, Fever does not burn out the brain. Moreover, the temperature in the human body will be balanced by the flow of blood. It is impossible to reduce the intracranial temperature by cooling a small piece of skin on the forehead. There are also some antipyretic patches that add substances such as borneol, mint and eucalyptus oil, which will make the local skin feel cool, but they do not really cool down.
We know that the main principle of reducing fever is to make children comfortable. Not all children can tolerate the coolness brought to the forehead by the antipyretic patch, Some parents may find that their children resist this thing. In fact, they can also feel it. Is it comfortable to paste a sticky, icy thing on one’s forehead? Of course, the child has the final say on whether he is comfortable or not. If your child just likes to post this, it’s not impossible, but you know that not all children can express it, sometimes he just can’t refuse you. But you also know that some children are allergic after posting this. [5] That is to spend money to make children suffer. You can use [antipyretic paste allergy] to search the Internet yourself.
Antipyretic stickers are more parents’ [placebo]
Is the antipyretic patch not good at all? May also can’t say so, just like pregnant women wearing radiation clothing, children with antipyretic stickers are like sticking a label [I am sick], which may make other children stay away from TA. In addition, many parents are very anxious when their children have a fever and do not know what to do. They put an antipyretic sticker on their children, and somehow feel that they have done some what.
Many parents may say, When you get to the hospital, doctors also give antipyretic stickers first. Indeed, Just as many doctors believe that traditional Chinese medicine is useful, Some doctors also believe that antipyretic patches are useful, Although they haven’t seen any evidence. Besides, Many children with fever do not need special treatment from what, but parents are anxious, and doctors will prescribe some things that may not be good to appease parents. You see, I have somehow made some what for your children. To put it bluntly, it is a placebo, but the cost is a little high. Some of them cost tens of dollars in a box, and those who encounter allergy are even more unjust.
