Question
Your child has been crying and not eating much lately. How can you prevent your child from having fever convulsions?
Answer
You can physically cool down the child by using a warm towel dipped in warm water to vigorously wipe the armpits, groin, chest, and back, but avoid the area behind the neck and in front of the heart. You can also use low-alcohol solutions or low-alcohol beverages. Next, consider using medication for temperature reduction. It’s best to have a medical check-up, as knee and lower leg pain might be due to a child’s growth pain or calcium deficiency. If there are other issues, it’s better to have a check-up at the hospital. If the child is deficient in calcium, I suggest using food supplements. Boil bones with a pressure cooker to make bone soup for cooking and soup dishes; its absorption rate is higher than that of calcium tablets.
