The general method for quickly handling mild fever due to a cold primarily involves physical cooling. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it's necessary to combine this with taking antipyretic and analgesic drugs. There are many common methods of physical cooling. For adults, approximately 30% concentration alcohol can be used to wipe areas such as the palms, soles, neck, and chest. For infants and young children, alcohol should not be used; instead, wipe the body with warm water around 30-40 degrees Celsius. Applying cool towels or ice packs to the forehead can also serve as a physical cooling method.
