Patient's question:
The baby has a high fever. The hospital's blood test results show viral and bacterial infections. The fever has recurred three times in two days. Can the baby take a warm bath? For physical cooling, should it be with salt water or warm water? What should be paid attention to daily?Doctor's answer:
A baby with a fever usually has fluctuating temperatures for three or four days. It takes about a week for the illness to fully recover. For physical cooling, use lukewarm water to wipe the forehead, armpits, palms, and soles of the feet. It is recommended to take good care of the baby, ensure they drink plenty of fluids, and maintain a light diet. Monitor the temperature regularly, as the fever typically fluctuates for three or four days before the illness fully recovers. The above advice is for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
