How can a child's fever be quickly reduced at night?
Disease description:
The child suddenly developed a fever in the middle of the night tonight. I'm a bit worried and would like to know how to quickly reduce the fever.
For children with nighttime fever, if the body temperature is below 38.5°C, you can repeatedly wipe areas such as the armpits, groin, and neck with lukewarm water, or give them a warm bath to help remove excess heat from the body. Encourage drinking plenty of warm water, which promotes blood circulation and increases sweating and urination, helping the body eliminate heat and toxins. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, administer oral fever-reducing medication as directed by a physician, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
