Fever is a common disease in daily life, affecting both adults and children. After the child has a fever, parents are very worried. There is a saying that fever can be reduced by rubbing the palms and soles of the feet. Let's take a look at how to rub the palms and soles of the feet when a child has a fever?
When a child has a fever, rubbing the soles of their palms and feet can help them dissipate heat. Parents can heat up their own hands first, then rub the soles of their children's feet. Once they feel the warmth of their child's feet, they can slowly move them up and start rubbing their child's calves, then their small hands, and finally their arms, back, and so on. Finally, you can rub the child's two small ears and move them to Baihui acupoint. This way, the child will sweat quickly, and once the child sweats, their body temperature can also drop.
In addition, another method is for parents to use medical alcohol to rub the soles of their children's feet. When rubbing with their hands, they must pay attention to the strength and not apply too much force, which will make the child uncomfortable. When rubbing, they can feel that their palms are slightly hot, and the child's feet are also hot. Using alcohol to help children rub their soles can also quickly reduce fever.
Rubbing the palms and soles of the feet can have a certain effect on reducing fever, but parents should pay attention to monitoring their children's body temperature. If it is consistently hot, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital in a timely manner to investigate the cause and receive targeted treatment.
