Question
My child has been running a fever for over twenty days and it’s persistent. Now, the front half of the body, I want to ask if enema treatment is good and what are the side effects? Does it affect the child?
Answer
Enemas can reduce fever and inflammation with no significant side effects. However, it’s primarily important to determine the cause of the fever and use medication accordingly. If the body temperature does not drop below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use warm water for sponge baths to physically lower the temperature, drink plenty of warm water, get adequate rest, avoid contact with cold patients, and do not go to crowded or poorly ventilated places. If the baby has recurrent fever, further laboratory tests are needed to identify the cause. Traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment can be used with no significant side effects.
