Can babies with fever take a bath?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the child has a fever, it is recommended to start with physical cooling: loosen their clothes and bedding, bathe them with lukewarm water all over, and offer them more fluids. Do not bundle them up or dress them too tightly, as this is not conducive to heat dissipation. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can give them oral ibuprofen suspension.
Advice: Bathing is acceptable and can help with physical cooling, but the duration should not be too long. Pay attention to the water temperature, and avoid getting them cold again.
