The included children were randomly assigned to the ice water group and menthol group accordingly. Ice water group: confirming the children were conscious, we began to intervene for 3 timepoints, namely 0 minute, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after starting spray. Before operation, we sprayed the air for several times to remove the air from the spout, so as to make the spray even. Then we asked the child to open his mouth and lift his tongue, sprayed it to the sublingual area, the mucosa in the left and right cheeks, and the tongue surface, and asked the child to close his mouth for 5 minutes for every intervention. After 40 minutes, the pain degree of thirst, medical fear and comfort degree of the children were scored respectively.Menthol group: The evaluation and intervention period was the same as that of Ice water group.
