Summary

This study tested whether a warm water foot bath (38-40°C for 10 minutes) can help manage fever and pain in children aged 1-5 who came to the emergency room with a fever of 38.3°C or higher. All 60 children also received standard paracetamol. The goal was to see if the foot bath could reduce reliance on medication and improve comfort. Results will show changes in pain scores and heart rate.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
warm water foot bath
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help lower fever and ease pain in young children at home or in the emergency room.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 60 children, so results may not apply to all kids. The foot bath is used alongside standard medication, not as a replacement, and its effect may be modest.
