Is it good for children to have a fever and sweat?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a child to have a fever? Is it good for a child to sweat when they have a fever? Is it okay to occasionally have a fever and sweat?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has a fever again, occasional fever without the recurrence of sweating, it's okay. During this period, physical cooling methods can be used. You can use lukewarm water to wipe or take a lukewarm bath or use fever-reducing patches. These can help with rapid cooling. This is physical cooling and will not harm the body. Generally, it is recommended to use fever-reducing medication only when the temperature drops below 38.5 degrees.
