Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The thing is, I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems quite unwell. How can massage be used to reduce fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying alcohol to the body, washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can generally be taken.
