Summer is a time when the weather is relatively hot, which often leads to heat-induced colds. Patients with this condition may experience varying degrees of fever. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, local cold compresses are advisable, especially in areas like the armpits and groin.

If the patient also experiences varying degrees of chills at this time, alcohol rub baths can be used for timely and effective fever reduction. Therefore, cold compresses are usually the method of choice for patients with summer colds, especially for infants and young children with high fever-induced convulsions. Applying cold compresses to the head can be more effective in reducing the temperature.
