Question
How to cool down a fever?
Answer
Sometimes, even though babies have cold hands and feet, they may have a fever. If parents wrap the child incorrectly, it can lead to an increase in body temperature, even resulting in symptoms like high fever and seizures. It is important to use fever-reducing medications correctly and avoid using them when the body temperature is not above 38.5 degrees. Physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body with cool water, can be used, but warmth should also be maintained. If the child has other discomfort symptoms, medical attention should be sought promptly, and symptomatic treatment should be received.
