Bathing is not recommended for children with fever. If the child is ≥2 months of age, has an axillary temperature ≥38.5°C, or is uncomfortable and depressed due to fever, antipyretic medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may be given under medical supervision, with an interval of at least 6 hours between doses. If the child’s fever is not severe, with an axillary temperature <38.5°C and no obvious discomfort, physical cooling methods such as applying warm water externally to the child's forehead, reducing the amount of clothing worn, etc., can be used to lower the temperature, and the child should be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. Extensive use of physical methods to cool the body may, on the contrary, cause the body to overcome the effect of physical cooling by enhancing heat production (chills) and further reducing heat dissipation (skin capillary contraction, contraction of the erector spinae muscle to appear skin goose bumps). Therefore, baths are not recommended for children with fever. Children with persistent high fever with significant symptoms should be hospitalized to determine the cause of the illness and treated promptly. All of the above medications should be used under the supervision of a doctor and avoid self-medication.
