Physical methods for reducing fever
Disease description:
My wife has a high fever. I just gave her fever-reducing medicine and prepared a bowl of brown sugar ginger water for her. Could you please tell me what physical cooling methods can help reduce her fever?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Shuwen
The following are physical methods for reducing fever: 1. Take a warm bath or wipe the body with warm water, keeping the water temperature around 30°C; alternatively, place ice packs on the patient's forehead, armpits, groin, and other areas. 2. Drink plenty of warm water and get adequate rest, as sweating and urination help remove excess heat from the body.
