How can children reduce fever without taking medicine?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Ten years
Condition Description: Feels hot all over, chills, talking nonsense
Past Treatment and Effect: No fever-reducing medicine, applied cold compress
Help Needed: How to reduce fever first?

Doctor's answer:

Patient, fever can also be treated by the body's immune system, but it may take longer. Rest well, avoid staying up late, ensure proper nutrition, do not eat spicy foods, drink more water, exercise moderately to sweat, and avoid getting cold. If the cold worsens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for medication. Fever is generally caused by infection, which is usually referred to as inflammation. Treatment is divided into two types: one is etiological treatment, which means controlling inflammation, and the other is symptomatic treatment, which means reducing fever. Generally, if the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees, fever reduction treatment is necessary, including both medication and physical methods.
