Traditional remedies for naturally lowering fever in children, shared by Western mothers.

Apple cider vinegar, egg whites, garlic... are often used by Western mothers to lower fever in sick children.

Fever is nothing to be afraid of. Parents should pay more attention to their children's health to detect any unusual symptoms instead of relying solely on thermometers. When a child has a fever, parents shouldn't worry too much or spend a lot of time trying to lower it; there are many natural ways to reduce a child's fever.

Calcium supplementation

Calcium plays a particularly useful role for both adults and children who are sick. When the body fights off external invaders, it needs a large amount of calcium from the bones to support white blood cells. This process can cause aches and fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the body with a certain amount of calcium. Calcium supplementation is essential.

Apple cider vinegar

This is an ancient method passed down from our grandparents' time, based on accumulated experience. It involves placing a damp washcloth soaked in apple cider vinegar on the forehead and stomach, or adding a cup of apple cider vinegar to a warm bath. Some people even soak a cloth in apple cider vinegar and then wrap it around the soles of their feet.

Egg whites

Egg whites are also a way to reduce fever in children. (illustrative image)

Soak socks in egg whites and then put them on the sick person's feet. Alternatively, soak a thin cloth in egg whites and then place it on the feet. Change the socks/cloth when they dry out. Most people report that this method is very effective, within 10 minutes to an hour. If the sick person is sensitive to egg whites, you can substitute them with finely chopped onions or potatoes.

Apply garlic to your feet.

Grind fresh garlic and cloves into a paste and apply it all over your feet. Alternatively, mix in a little olive oil or coconut oil. Apply to several spots on your feet, then wrap your feet with gauze and leave it overnight. (You should only do this if your feet can tolerate the heat; avoid using this method on infants.)

Take a warm bath.

Taking a cold shower can shock the body. The water temperature should be kept at a comfortable level for your body. A good way to lower the temperature is to add a cup of apple cider vinegar to the bathwater.

Use herbal soap

Although using herbal soap isn't a particularly helpful method, it might make bathing with foam more enjoyable for children, potentially making them feel better when they have a fever.

In addition to the above methods for lowering a child's fever, parents can also prepare dishes that help reduce fever, such as those containing apple cider vinegar or garlic.
