Question
Can you give a baby a cool enema when they have a high fever?
Answer
When a baby has a high fever, parents can consider using physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body with warm water or using fever-reducing patches. Only when physical cooling is ineffective and the situation is severe should rectal suppositories be considered. Additionally, if the baby has severe vomiting or refuses oral medication and other special conditions, rectal suppositories can also be considered. However, these measures should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
