"The doctors from U.S.A are against the massages with alcohol"
I live in the Usa and I have an 11 month old daughter. Every time she has fever, I think about the massage with alcohol my grandmother used to apply to me and about the hot teas she used to make me drink. The fever would get lower in only one night, through perspiration. Here, the doctors are against massages, not only in the case of the children, but also in that of the adults. It seems that nobody has ever heard of this simple and effective method. Taking into consideration my daughter"s age, I would like to know what the risks are and at what age I could apply a massage to her, possibly with vinegar diluted in water, if the alcohol vapors may be inhaled and if their inhalation is dangerous. I am also interested in some other natural remedies that can be used in order to avoid the medicines (Tylenol, for example). Thank you very much for your help.
