Question
Can a baby with a fever go out to play, and what should be done to prevent the child’s condition from worsening?
Answer
It is not recommended for a baby with a fever to go out and play. Firstly, fever makes the child feel tired and lackluster, leaving them without the energy to play outside. Secondly, going out to play increases the child’s physical burden, and excessive fatigue may affect their immunity, potentially worsening the fever symptoms. Additionally, with significant temperature changes, it is easy for the child to catch a cold or flu, which may hinder the improvement of the illness and even lead to deterioration. Furthermore, if you take the child to crowded places to play, the air quality may be poor, leading to cross-infection and exacerbating the fever symptoms.
