How to Handle a 7-Year-Old Daughter’s Low Fever

Question

My daughter is 7 years old and does not have any symptoms of a cold, but she has a slight low fever under her armpit.

Answer

When the body temperature is below 38.5℃, the first step should be to drink plenty of warm water and apply ice packs to areas with a high concentration of blood vessels, such as the sides of the neck, inguinal area, and armpits. Additionally, you can mix about 50% white wine with warm water and wipe the body with it, except for the abdomen, back, and chest. The limbs and head are suitable areas for cooling. Repeat the wiping until the body temperature returns to normal. If the body temperature does not decrease but instead rises, exceeding 38.5 degrees, medical treatment with medication should be sought.
