What are the physical cooling methods for infants and young children with fever?

Patient's question:

Female, 3 years old, my child's physical health has always been poor. She often gets fever and colds. Now I want to know what are the physical cooling methods for infants and young children with fever?

Doctor's answer:

Physical cooling includes several methods. One is to use warm water towels to wipe the areas where major blood vessels converge, such as the armpits, elbow pits, and groin, which can enhance the cooling effect. Additionally, ice cubes can be placed in these extra major blood vessel convergence areas, including the armpits, elbow pits, and groin. However, when cooling, it's important to protect the abdomen. Besides, taking a hot bath can also achieve the cooling effect.
