Question
Should a baby be covered with a blanket when they have a fever?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, it is usually accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, and an elevated body temperature. In this case, it is not necessary to add 0.5 degrees to the body temperature to determine if the baby has a fever. If the body temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it indicates that the baby has a fever. It is recommended to give the baby paracetamol and let them drink plenty of water. Keeping warm is important, but it is not necessary to cover the baby with too many blankets. If the situation does not improve, it may be necessary to consider intravenous treatment.
