How to deal with heat in babies?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: The baby gets small red spots on the face when it gets hot, and there are also some on the back of the ears, but no spots on the body. Medical History and Effectiveness: The baby was taken to the hospital, and the doctor said it wasn't heat rash but heat. They bought Pudilan oral liquid and took it for a few days, but it didn't help much. Desired Help: Is there any medicine that can treat this?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause of the fever, symptomatic treatment should be administered. While taking medication, physical cooling methods can also be used. If the fever is only moderate, the body temperature is unlikely to exceed 39°C, and no special treatment is needed. Close monitoring is sufficient. If the body temperature exceeds 39°C, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Medications or physical cooling methods may be considered to control the temperature.
Drink plenty of warm water, and you can also use ice packs to cool areas with major blood vessels, such as the sides of the neck, groin, and armpits. Additionally, it is recommended to mix about 50 ml of Baijiu (Chinese liquor) with warm water and apply it to areas other than the abdomen, back, and chest—preferably regions with major blood vessel distribution, such as the limbs and head. Repeat the process until the temperature returns to normal. This is a physical cooling method.
