Question
Which parts of the baby’s body get hot when they have a fever?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, the entire body usually becomes warm, including the head, neck, armpits, and inguinal areas. Parents can use physical cooling methods, such as wiping these areas with warm water, to help cool the baby down. If the baby’s fever exceeds 38.5°C or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
