Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can I prevent fever seizures in children?Doctor's answer:
You can physically cool down, for example, by dipping a warm towel in lukewarm water and vigorously rubbing the armpits, the front and back of the thighs, but avoid the back of the neck and the area in front of the heart. Alternatively, you can use low-proof alcohol or low-proof wine.Next, you can use medication to lower the temperature. It’s best to have the child checked at the hospital. If the pain is only in the knees and calves, it could be growing pains or calcium deficiency. If there are other symptoms, it’s best to have the child examined at the hospital. If the child is deficient in calcium, I recommend dietary supplements—boiling bones in a pressure cooker and using the bone broth to cook dishes or soups. Its absorption rate is higher than that of calcium pills.
