Patient's question:
My baby had a low fever all night. It's a bit better in the morning. But now it's starting to have a low fever again, 37.9. Can I give her a bath? No, can I?Doctor's answer:
Children's immunity is generally not very good, so it is not recommended to bathe children when they have a fever. When children have a fever, parents should first identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons why infants and young children may develop fever symptoms. For example, fever caused by upper respiratory tract infections is a common pediatric disease. In this case, you can give the child more water to drink or administer antipyretic medication for treatment. However, it is still best to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to determine the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
