What should I do if I have a cold and a fever of 39.5 degrees?
1. Most children still have a fever caused by catching a cold, with cold hands and feet, white tongue coating, pale complexion, and light urine color. Parents can use ginger brown sugar water to dispel the cold for their children, which is effective. If 2-3 sections of chopped scallion white are added to the ginger brown sugar water, the effect will be even better. If a child is afraid of spicy food, you can add two slices of ginger, two sections of scallions, and a few drops of vinegar to the porridge cooked for the child. After cooking, remove the ginger and scallions and feed it to the child. It can dispel cold, sweat, and reduce fever, and the child is willing to eat it.
2. Parents can feed their children 2-3 times a day. After the child's fever subsides, do not add scallions. When the tongue coating no longer turns white, ginger can also be left untreated.
3. If a child's hands and feet are not cold when they have a fever, but their complexion is red, their throat is swollen and painful, their tongue coating is yellow or red, their urine is yellow in color and has a strong odor, and their eyes are red, it indicates that the child has a heavy internal heat and cannot drink ginger brown sugar water. Parents should let the child drink a large amount of warm water, or add a small amount of salt to the water to make light salt water for the child to drink, which can reduce internal heat. Children only need to drink plenty of water, urinate a few more times, and let the internal heat of the body be excreted with the urine, so that their body temperature will decrease and the symptoms of internal heat will improve.
