Can a 4-month-old baby with a fever of 38 degrees Celsius take a cold shower?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When the body temperature is below 38.5°C, it is first recommended to drink plenty of warm water. At the same time, ice packs can be used to prevent blood vessel areas such as the sides of the neck, groin, and armpits. Additionally, it is suggested to mix about 50 ml of baijiu (Chinese liquor) with warm water and apply it to other areas such as the abdomen, back, and chest (cold water may cause blood vessels to constrict, which is counterproductive). It is best to apply it to areas with major blood vessel distribution, such as the limbs and head. Keep applying and reapplying until the temperature returns to normal.
