Fever for Children

QUESTION: What can be done for a 3-year-old little girl who is very sick with a FEVER and the doctor say she has a lung infection. 

SOP gives us the answer and it truly works!!!

“Fever cases have been lost, when, had the physicians left off entirely their drug treatment, had they put their wits to work and wisely and persistently used the Lord's own remedies, plenty of air and water, the patients would have recovered.” (MM 228.1)

“If, in their fevered state, water had been given them to drink freely, and applications had also been made externally, long days and nights of suffering would have been saved, and many precious lives spared.” (CD 419.5)

“In cases of severe fever, abstinence from food for a short time will lessen the fever and make the use of water more effectual...but as soon as the strength of the fever is broken, nourishment should be given in a careful, judicious manner. If food is withheld too long, the stomach's craving for it will create fever, which will be relieved by a proper allowance of food of a right quality.”  (2T 384.2)

“He (a father) has been suddenly stricken down by disease. The fire of fever seems consuming him...The blessed, HEAVEN-SENT WATER, SKILLFULLY APPLIED would quench the devouring flame; but it is set aside for poisonous drugs.”{5T 195.1}

“I think, the treatment you were giving Brother Lacey--the ice, etc., used to keep down the fever.

I feel that the ice used is a mistake...Do not apply ice to the head (but cool water); apply hot fomentations (to the bowels, stomach, and liver). This will quell the fever much sooner even than cold. The reaction after the cold applications raised the fever, in the place of killing it.” {20MR 278.2}

“On one occasion a physician came to me in great distress. He had been called to attend a young woman who was dangerously ill.  She had contracted FEVER...she became so much worse that it was feared she could not live. The physician, Dr. Merritt Kellogg, came to me and said, “Sister White, have you any light for me on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister, she can live but a few hours.” I replied, “Send to a blacksmith's shop, and get some pulverized charcoal; make a poultice of it, and lay it over her stomach and sides.” The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon he returned, saying, “Relief came in less than half an hour after the application of the poultices. She is now having the first natural sleep she has had for days.”  {2SM 295.2}
