How to treat a baby with low fever and foot pain?

Answer

When a baby has low fever and foot pain, the following treatment methods can be adopted:

  1. Deep sleep helps the baby recover energy and may aid in fever reduction.
  2. The baby weighs 30 jin, and three days ago, oral medication and an injection for inflammation were administered with good results.
  3. To address the foot pain, try soaking the feet in ginger water, without adding hot water until sweat is produced. This usually takes over 30 minutes.
  4. If the baby has a fever, massage the acupoints such as Fengchi, Taiyang, Baihui, and Yingxiang to help reduce the fever.
  5. Rubbing the Yongquan Xue on the sole of the foot and the Dazhui point on the back with ginger is also an effective method for fever reduction. Medical Guidance: It is recommended to nourish yin and reduce fire, and avoid excessive intake of spicy and hot foods to prevent exacerbating internal dryness and heat.
