Question
How can you use massage to reduce a child’s fever?
Answer
Fever in children is a common occurrence, usually caused by the common cold. Since the child’s thermoregulatory center is still underdeveloped, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, it is not necessary to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as rubbing alcohol on the body, washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, you can usually take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
