A 9-year-old child has a fever. Which acupoints can be massaged to reduce the fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

First, it's important to identify the cause of the fever. While actively treating the underlying condition, use fever-reducing measures. The human body has several effective acupoints for reducing fever, including the Dazhui point, Quchi point, Hegu point, and Waiguan point. These points can sometimes rapidly lower body temperature and are worth trying. Alternatively, you can temporarily use physical cooling methods such as applying 25%-50% alcohol for bathing. If necessary, use Feihe fever-reducing medication to lower the fever.
