Patient's question:

What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, home-based physical fever reduction methods, and what other anti-inflammatory medications can be used?
Doctor's answer:
Physical cooling methods are slower in reducing temperature, but they have no side effects on the child's body, so they can be considered a relatively safe method of cooling.Suggestions:
Method 1: Soak a towel in lukewarm water (the temperature should feel neither cold nor hot, approximately 38–41°C), wring it out slightly, and then wipe the child's neck, arms, chest, back, thighs, and other areas. Focus on the major blood vessel areas such as the elbow creases, armpits, and neck, and rub them until they turn slightly red. This way, the evaporation of water can carry away a significant amount of heat, helping to lower the temperature.
Method 2: Place an ice pack or cold towel on the child's forehead. This can reduce the brain's oxygen consumption and help lower body temperature, protecting the brain.
