Question
What to Do When a Three-Year-Old Baby Has a Cold and Fever?
Answer
If the child’s body temperature does not drop after about an hour of taking medication, you can use the method of wiping bath with lukewarm water. Wipe the neck on both sides of the carotid artery, the palm of the hands, the elbow crease, and the inguinal area. Repeat this process for 20 minutes; the child’s body temperature should gradually decrease. You can take antipyretic medication again after 5 hours. However, you still need to keep a close eye on the illness.
