Question
Can children with a fever go swimming?
Answer
Considering the possibility of a cold, which often comes with symptoms like coughing, phlegm, and fever, the body temperature should be measured without adding an extra 0.5 degree. A temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. In this case, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered to the child, along with encouragement to drink plenty of water and maintain warmth. Intravenous therapy can also be considered if necessary.
