How to cure a fever in children quickly

With climate change and increasing temperature differences, colds and flu are one of the most common diseases. A heat cold is caused by a large temperature difference in the body when the temperature is very high and suddenly it becomes cold. Heat cold is a type of cold. You should seek medical attention or take medicine in time, because many serious diseases are caused by colds. So how can children recover as quickly as possible after catching a cold?
