Apple cider vinegar, egg whites, garlic... are often used by Western mothers when their children are sick to reduce fever.

Fever is not scary. Parents should pay more attention to their children to detect unusual symptoms instead of relying on the thermometer. When children have a fever, parents should not worry too much and spend a lot of time trying to reduce the fever. There are many natural ways to reduce fever in children.

Calcium supplements

Calcium plays a particularly useful role for both adults and children who are sick. When the body fights against foreign invaders, it needs a large amount of calcium from the bones to support the white blood cells. This process makes you feel pain and fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the body with a certain amount of calcium. Calcium supplementation is necessary.

Apple cider vinegar

This is an ancient method that has been used since our grandparents left behind from experience. Use a wet washcloth with apple cider vinegar and place it on the forehead and abdomen or add a cup of apple cider vinegar to a warm bath. Some people also soak the cloth in apple cider vinegar and then wrap it around the soles of their feet.

Egg whites

Soak socks in egg whites and then put them on the sick person's feet. Or, soak a thin towel in egg whites and then place it on the feet. Change the socks/towels when they are dry. Most people say this method is very effective, within 10 minutes to 1 hour. If the sick person is sensitive to egg whites, it can be replaced with chopped onions or potatoes.

Rub garlic on your feet

Grind fresh garlic and cloves until smooth and rub all over your feet. Or mix in a little olive oil or coconut oil. Rub a few spots on your feet, then wrap your feet in gauze and leave overnight. (Only do this if your feet can handle the heat, avoid using this method on babies.)

Take a warm bath

Taking a cold shower can be a shock to the body. Keep the water at a comfortable temperature for your body. A good way to bring it down is to add a cup of apple cider vinegar to the bath.

Use herbal soap

Although it is not a helpful measure to use herbal soap. Perhaps, it will make the baby feel more comfortable when bathing with bubbles. This will make the baby feel more comfortable when having a fever.

In addition to the above ways to reduce fever for children, parents can also cook dishes to help reduce fever for children such as making dishes with added apple cider vinegar or garlic.
