Question

What methods are there for treating childhood fever?

Answer

For fever, there are measures to lower the temperature. The room temperature should be kept below 30°C. This can be achieved by placing ice cubes indoors, using electric fans, or air conditioning. Physical cooling can be done with a 30% alcohol wipe bath, placing ice packs on the groin, armpits, and neck, or using a cooling bed or cold pad. Give aspirin 12.5 to 25mg every 4 to 6 hours. Chinese herbal remedies such as Bupleurum Injection and Oral Thrush Remedy can also be used.
