Can you swim with a respiratory infection and a temperature of 37.2?

Patient's question:

Child has upper respiratory infection, cough with phlegm, temperature is 37.2, under such circumstances, can they go swimming in the kindergarten's swimming class?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby with these symptoms, a temperature of 37.2°C, cannot swim to avoid worsening the condition. It's best not to go to kindergarten either. The baby should rest at home and take medicine properly to recover before returning to kindergarten, which is beneficial for both the baby and other children. For these symptoms, it's important to rule out bronchitis-induced cough with phlegm. Oral medication combined with aerosol treatment can be considered. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
