Bring Down a Fever With Vinegar

Next time your child has a fever, put apple cider vinegar onto some socks and put them on your child. Wrap their feet in a towel and the fever will come down.

I am sorry, but I don't believe putting socks that are soggy with vinegar on your child and then wrapping their feet in a towel is going to do anything for the fever. Nor do I think it would be comforting. You want to use some children's Tylonal and perhaps a cool bath to soothe the fever. We have universal healthcare, and I am sure that there is some sort of phone in line that will give you good advice for short term care of a sick child. If the fever persists, go to your doctor, a walk in clinic, or even emergency. We live in Canada. Health care is covered.
