Fever in children is a very common pediatric disease. Some parents are afraid that their children will turn from fever to pneumonia, so they immediately give them antipyretic medicine as soon as they start having a fever. In fact, this has no benefits for the development of the child's immune system and the improvement of resistance. When the child's body temperature is within 38 degrees, the mother can try using physical cooling methods for the child. So, how to rub the soles of a child's feet when they have a fever?
Firstly, the mother gently holds the child's ankle joint with one hand, causing the knee to bend slightly and the toes to face upwards. The mother gently presses down on the arch of the child's foot with her other hand and gently massages it upwards in a circular motion until it reaches the sole of the foot. Mothers should pay attention to massaging each foot of the child twice.
Secondly, the mother continued to gently grip the child's feet with her left hand, causing the child's knees to bend slightly and the toes to face upwards. Gently press the thumb of the right hand onto the sole of the child's foot, and gently grasp the area on the back of the child's foot with the index finger. Then the mother used her fingers to draw small circles around the edge of the child's feet, starting from the foot base and massaging until the entire foot, and then continuing to massage from the foot base all the way to the foot base. Pay attention to massaging each foot about twice.
