Patient's question:
Why do babies often have fever? Should they be cooled down or covered up to sweat? Don't listen to nonsense!Doctor's answer:
If the baby has a fever due to other physical reasons (such as internal heat, other illnesses), it is necessary to induce sweating. The body has toxins, and the immune system produces a large number of white blood cells to fight off pathogens, which can lead to an increase in body temperature. First, it is important to replenish fluids because fever consumes a lot of water, so fluids need to be replenished promptly. Since the body is fighting other illnesses, the fever will persist. If sweating is induced, the body temperature will continue to rise, which can be dangerous. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to induce sweating!
