A member asked:
Will it do any harm to point a fan at a baby with a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not be: Unless the baby cries at finding the fan uncomfortable it should not create any harm. Actually, assuming the fever is not in excess of 104, fever is unlikely to harm the baby, and may actually be beneficial.
