3. Due to the different physical constitutions of children, the changes in their conditions are more complicated, so pediatric massage must be identified and treated in combination with differences in seasons, climate and symptom manifestations. In addition, children should pay attention to adding or removing clothes as the weather changes to prevent colds and fevers. It is spring now, the weather changes greatly and the daily temperature difference is also large. Parents must add or remove clothes for their children in time to prevent colds. Pay attention to proper feeding and avoid overeating greasy food to avoid food stagnation, which may cause fever. When you have a fever, you should drink plenty of water and eat a light diet.

4. Generally speaking, an acute fever takes 1 to 3 days to recover. Children with long-term low-grade fever and poor response to medication will need a relatively longer treatment time, because the treatment of children with long-term low-grade fever generally needs to start with the root cause of the disease.

Massage therapy has a better effect, but when parents’ self-treatment at home is not effective, they must go to the hospital for formal treatment.
