5 Reasons Why You Should Use Our FeverMates Cooling Patches

For generations, parents managing a child's fever had two broad options: medication, or simple outside-the-body cooling like a bath or a cool cloth.

Today there is a tidier, more convenient way to add a little cooling comfort. Let's look at FeverMates cooling patches.

FeverMates Provide Up to Eight Hours of Cooling Comfort

Each FeverMates pouch holds two cooling patches. A single patch gives roughly eight hours of gentle cooling comfort, so it is easy to keep a child comfortable through the day or night while you follow your usual fever care.

No Medicine Means No Worry About Combining Medicines

Some medicines that are safe for adults can be unsuitable for children. For example, medical science has linked children's and teenagers' use of aspirin with Reye's syndrome, and some medications such as ibuprofen can interact with conditions such as asthma.

Because a cooling patch contains no medicine, it is a simple comfort measure with no medicine interactions to think about. Always follow medical advice for any medication.

A Convenient Cool Compress

FeverMates are convenient and comfortable, and a single patch keeps its cool feeling for hours — longer than the traditional options below.

Cooling Bath

A cool bath can feel refreshing in the short term, but most people find a cold bath uncomfortable, and a feverish child even more so. A FeverMates cooling patch is a gentler way to add some cooling comfort.

Washcloth

Many parents reach for a cold, wet washcloth on the forehead. It feels refreshing at first, but body heat warms it quickly — usually within about 20 minutes — and it will not stay on overnight or during activity.

Suitable For the Youngest of Children

Every parent wants to know the safest way to care for a child's fever. Doctors advise that very young children, and anyone with certain conditions, should avoid some fever-reducing medications, and that some infants should have none at all. Because cooling patches contain no medicine, they are a simple comfort measure for the whole family. You can also trim the patch to fit a baby's head.

Confused By All the Different Directions?

A cooling patch is an easy first step for cooling comfort while you follow your usual fever care and any medical advice. You can also cut the patches to the right size for your baby's head.

An Affordable, Convenient Option

A pack of FeverMates cooling patches is an affordable staple to keep on hand for cooling comfort through the worst of the symptoms.

Please remember that FeverMates cooling patches contain no medicine and do not treat illness — they are a comfort measure only. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor.
