Anyone know what essential oils are safe to use for toddlers to break a low grade fever? How do I use them?

essential oils including camphor, clove, lavender, eucalyptus, thyme, tea tree, and wintergreen oils, are highly toxic and can cause symptoms such as agitation, hallucinations and seizures

Cucumber juice is amazing for reducing a fever.
If you don’t have a juicer, blend a cucumber and strain.

Childrens tylenol if the kid is kvetchy or uncomfortable. Lots of fluids. A nice bath with some toys. Rest. I'd skip the essential oils for such a young kid. I am very cautious even when using something like that for myself. I once put peppermint oil in my kids bath instead of something else I'd been recommended and they were shivering like crazy it was awful.

Many essential oils aren’t considered safe for kids. I would use a child safe vicks vapo run and apply to soles of feet. Cover with socks. Fever should break within a few hours.
Consider also that fever is often a good thing and doesn’t necessarily have to be broken

I’ve seen people swear by vinegar socks for breaking a fever. Dip a pair of socks into vinegar and then put on child’s feet. Can’t vouch for it cuz haven’t tried it myself. I generally try to let fevers run their course, they are the body’s natural response to an infection and are great for killing off pathogens.
