Patient's question:
My baby is half a year old. Last night I noticed he had a bit of a high fever, no runny nose, no cough, just the fever. I took him to an old Chinese medicine practitioner who said he had a fever. I'm worried because he always reacts badly to Tylenol when he has a high fever. Do you have any home remedies for fever?Medical history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help you need: Seeking home remedies for fever.
