Can children with fever take a bath?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies with fever can take a bath. For children with fever, it is recommended to use physical cooling methods first: loosen their clothes and bedding, use lukewarm water to bathe their entire body, and offer them more fluids. Avoid wrapping them too tightly or dressing them too warmly, as this is not conducive to heat dissipation. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can give them oral ibuprofen suspension. Bathing is acceptable and can help with physical cooling, but the duration should not be too long, and pay attention to the water temperature to avoid getting cold again.
