Question
Is it normal for children to sweat when they have a fever? Is it a problem if they occasionally have a fever and sweat?
Answer
If the baby has a fever again, with occasional fever episodes but no recurrence of sweating, there’s no cause for concern. During this time, you can use physical cooling methods, such as wiping with warm water, taking a warm bath, or using fever-reducing patches, all of which can help quickly lower the body temperature. This is physical cooling and will not harm the body. Generally, it is recommended to use fever-reducing medication only after the body temperature drops below 38.5 degrees.
