Is it okay to use alcohol for a baby with low fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

To physically cool the baby without other symptoms appearing, you can first reduce the fever. As for reducing fever at home, you can initially use physical cooling methods for the baby, such as using alcohol or warm water to wipe their body, especially over areas where major blood vessels pass through, to lower the temperature. Be sure to provide the baby with plenty of fluids. If it doesn't work, still go to the hospital promptly.
