Patient's question:
Female, 6 years old, my baby is usually normal during the day, but suddenly started having a fever at night. I'm very worried and want to know if acupuncture is effective for children's fever.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, acupuncture for children with fever is generally only effective as a supplementary treatment. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and to take fever-reducing medication. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm and encouraging them to drink more water, which can help stabilize the condition. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for systematic and standardized examination as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take good care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
