Can a baby with a fever still sleep with the air conditioner on?

Patient's question:

My baby has been running a fever recently, possibly because of weaning off breast milk. But now that winter has arrived, the temperature is particularly low, and I'm worried about the cold. However, if the baby has a fever, they keep sweating and then feel cold. I want to turn on the air conditioner to keep her warm.
What kind of help I need: My baby has been running a fever recently, and can the air conditioner be turned on while sleeping if the temperature is too low?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has a fever and has been sweating continuously, feeling cool. In this situation, it is okay to use the air conditioner. If the indoor temperature is too low, it can help alleviate the cold. However, the air conditioner should not be pointed directly at the patient to avoid the wind carrying sweat and worsening the cold. Additionally, the temperature should not be too high, and the room should always be well-ventilated.
The above advice is for the question "Can a baby with a fever still sleep during a nap with the air conditioner on?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
