How Should a Child with Fever Be Physically Cooling?

Question

Male, 3 years old, my child has been suffering from a cold with fever, persistent coughing, and runny nose. The condition is recurring. How should a child with a fever be physically cooled?

Answer

Fever-reducing patches can be applied to the forehead or other areas with large blood vessels to aid in cooling. You can also use a warm water sponge bath or an alcohol sponge bath. Treatment methods for the disease vary depending on the patient’s condition, and it is recommended to visit a professional hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible for symptomatic treatment.
