Question
The baby has a high fever, and the hospital blood test results show viral and bacterial infections. The fever recurs three times within two days. Can the baby take a warm bath? Should physical cooling be done with saltwater or warm water? What should you pay attention to in daily life?
Answer
A baby’s fever usually fluctuates for three to four days, and it takes about a week for the disease to completely heal. Physical cooling requires using warm water to wipe the forehead, armpits, palm of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby, ensure they drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, and monitor body temperature regularly.
