What Are Some Quick Ways to Bring Down a Fever?

Question

My child suddenly developed a fever of 39 degrees at night. We’ve given them fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medication, but they’re not sweating and the fever hasn’t gone down. There are no allergies or hereditary history. What are some quick ways to bring down the fever, please help?

Answer

Considering that the baby is still young and they developed a fever at night, it’s usually due to wind-cold-damp-heat or poor digestion. I suggest, while giving your child fever-reducing medication, also apply a mixture of alcohol and water to gently wipe your baby’s body. This can effectively help bring down the fever and is beneficial for protecting the baby’s brain. The wiping areas are usually the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, armpits, forehead, and back. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
