When their child's body temperature rises, many parents become alarmed because fever is frequently interpreted as an infection symptom. This isn't always the case, though, as fever can indicate a number of different issues. Take your child to the doctor if they have a fever so they can diagnose the issue and start the right medication. However, there are a few easy homemade remedies that can help, at least temporarily, if the fever strikes during the night or while you're on vacation.
Here are some examples:
Potatoes
Wash and peel a couple of potatoes, then cut them on slices and apply them on the soles of your child’s feet. Put on cotton socks afterwards and leave the potato slices to work overnight.
Water and brandy
Mix a cup of brandy with a cup of water, then soak a gauze in the mixture and put it on your child’s soles to reduce the fever.
Cold cloth
Moisten a cloth with icy cold water, then lay the child down and apply the cloth on their forehead.
When using the remedies, we also suggest giving your child plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and showering them with warm water frequently. Try the remedies yourself and you will be amazed by the results!
