Baby's immunity and resistance are not very good, so when encountering various viruses or bacteria invading, they are prone to getting sick. For example, if a baby has a fever and their body temperature rises while also sweating heavily, making it difficult for the family to cope, should the baby cover themselves when they have a fever and sweat?
When a baby has a fever and is sweating, whether or not to cover them with a blanket should be determined based on their specific condition. If it is during the period of high fever, the baby's body will no longer strive to produce heat, and the balance between heat production and dissipation will be better achieved, and the hands, feet, and heart will also be warm. At this time, it is not advisable to cover the baby with a blanket, but to take the blanket to help dissipate heat.
If it is during the baby's shivering period of fever, the baby's body temperature will rise rapidly. Touching the baby's body can also make them feel hot, but when they feel cold, they may shiver. Parents should promptly cover their babies with blankets to prevent them from catching a cold and exacerbating their fever.
When a baby has a fever and sweats, parents should pay attention to timely hydration of the baby, as fever and sweating can cause a significant loss of water in the baby's body. If water is not replenished in a timely manner, it will aggravate the baby's fever, so timely hydration is very important. You can give your baby some warm water to drink, and fresh fruit juice and vegetable juice are also good choices, which can replenish water and vitamins.
