Question
Is it feasible to use alcohol to wipe a baby’s low fever?
Answer
Before other symptoms arise, physical cooling methods can be used to reduce a baby’s fever, such as rubbing the body with alcohol or warm water, especially on areas with large blood vessels. At the same time, it is important to ensure the baby stays hydrated. If physical cooling is ineffective, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a consultation as soon as possible.
