Child: ma, do you know what has helped to bring down my fever greatly?
Ma: tcm powder, western medicine, coconut water, ling yang brew, compression socks, mummy stays with you all the time
Child: somemore?
Ma: daddy takes care of you too
Child: somemore?
Ma: (scratching her head)..roll eggs on your feverish body?
Child: you washed my hair of so many days
Ma: indeed it is true. Her hair was not washed for few days bcos of high fever and bad flu.
Heat trapped inside her scalp. Body temperature drops from high 38ish to mild 37ish degree, right after a good hairwash..
So, we should not keep restrict our childcare methods just because of some practices like.. "Don't wash hair when they have high fever". Poor child, the suffering is so much longer just because overly cautious of kids re-catching a cold from hairwash! Or Lung gets chill, bronchitis, etc
As long we give wash and bathe our kids in enclosed door and window with fast action..all will be alright
