The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Using vinegar water on a feverish baby is not recommended and can be dangerous. Vinegar can be absorbed through the skin and disturb blood pH, and its vapor irritates the respiratory tract. Current pediatric practice recommends only gentle wiping with lukewarm (not hot or cold) water to reduce fever—without adding alcohol or vinegar. Besides this: keeping room temperature at 21-22°C, dressing the baby lightly, and providing plenty of fluids (breast milk/formula) is enough. If fever is above 38°C and the baby is fussy, you can use appropriate fever reducer after consulting your pediatrician—never use home methods.
