Question
If a baby’s fever exceeds 38.2℃, with hot forehead, back of the head, and neck, accompanied by coughing sounds and slight hacking, are there any natural effective fever-reducing methods to avoid the side effects of medication?
Answer
When a baby’s fever reaches 39℃, cooling measures should be taken to prevent convulsions or seizures. At home, physical cooling methods such as warm water baths or alcohol rubs can be used. At the same time, immediate medical attention should be sought for chest percussion and X-ray examination to diagnose whether pneumonia is present.
