Is it effective to sweat by covering up with a blanket when a child has a fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

No, if the baby has a fever, you should dress the baby appropriately with moderate clothing. Don't overclothe them; they need to dissipate heat. If you cover them with a blanket, it will be difficult for the baby to cool down, and the fever may not subside or could even worsen. You can give the baby a warm bath to help them cool down. Also, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
