A member asked:

Should i give my sick child a bath especially if she's running a fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bathe as needed: I would be sure to use warm, not hot or cold water in the process. Cold water can trigger shivering & end up pushing the fever higher. If the kid is soiled or stinky, a good cleaning is therapeutic for everybody involved.
