Patient's question:
He is 4 years old. A day ago, in the evening, I noticed he had a slight fever, no runny nose, no cough, just a fever. I took him to an old Chinese medicine doctor who said he had a cold. I'm not at ease because when he has a fever, he always takes that medicine to reduce it, but it doesn't work well. Please ask how to reduce fever with home remedies?Doctor's answer:
Warm Bath: Unfasten the baby's clothes and use a warm towel (37°C) to gently rub the entire body. This helps to dilate the blood vessels on the baby's skin, allowing body heat to dissipate. As the moisture evaporates from the skin, it also absorbs body heat.For fever relief, here are some home remedies. Use a fever reducer patch: It helps with heat dissipation, but it is not recommended for very young children. This is because young children may have difficulty moving their bodies, and an ice pack can cause localized coldness or even hypothermia.
