Question
Can you use alcohol to wipe a baby’s fever?
Answer
Due to a baby’s sensitive skin, wiping with alcohol may cause irritation, so it is not recommended to use this method for a baby’s fever reduction. It is suggested to use warm water for wiping or have the child drink more warm water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider giving symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, observe the baby’s condition. If they continue to cry, be restless, and not eat, seek medical advice as soon as possible.
