Toothache is truly unbearable, and baking soda with liquor can be a remedy! Warm-hearted netizen (Universe Heart, QQ: 1277115835): Hello, Teacher Hu Bing.

At this point, the baking soda will react with the liquor and form a light brown cake. Crush the cake and place...

**Quick Tips for Reducing Fever in Children!** **Thoughtful Netizen (Life is Like a Drama, QQ920457121):** Hello, Teacher Hu! Seeing so many kind-hearted people sharing remedies, I’d like to contribute one as well! If a child has a fever, you can use high-proof liquor to rub the soles of their feet, palms, and armpits.

We used this method, and he recovered without needing fever-reducing medication. My niece’s child also tried this remedy and recovered as well. My cousin also used this method when she was a child. I hope parents with...

I’ve personally used it, and many of my friends have tried it too, all with great results!
