Can slapping a 6 month old hard on his back 5-6 times get him fever? what is the treatment to make the baby recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why slap baby?: Why would you want to slap a baby hard on the back? And slapping him wont cause fever. If he has a fever use tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen.
