Can I use an electric fan when my baby has a fever?

It is actually normal for babies to have a fever, as long as parents discover it in time and take relevant care measures or treatment. Babies should not use electric fans when they have a fever, as this may easily cause the baby to catch a cold. Parents just need to ensure good ventilation indoors and outdoors. If the fever is severe, they should seek medical attention for examination and treatment in time.

We all know that babies are very prone to fever when they are young because their resistance and immunity are at a relatively low level, and the baby's body temperature is generally higher than that of an adult. So, can the baby use an electric fan when he has a fever? Let’s take a look below.

Do not use an electric fan when your baby has a fever. Just keep the indoor and outdoor areas ventilated. It is recommended that babies with fever should receive active symptomatic treatment. The temperature can be reduced physically or by taking medication. Using an electric fan will aggravate the baby's condition, and it is easy to catch a cold. Instead, the baby should drink more water and be careful not to catch a cold. At the same time, it is recommended not to take medicine, but to supplement with fruits rich in vitamin C, keep warm and rest, and wait patiently for two days, and the baby will get better. Mothers can also use clean water or alcohol to wipe the baby's body to cool down.

When a child has a fever, the room should be kept ventilated and the air should be fresh. If an electric fan is really needed to help with ventilation or the person accompanying the child needs to use an electric fan to "cool down", then there should absolutely be no "direct wind" directed at the child. The fan can be turned on in a place where the wind cannot reach the child.

Moreover, if a child has a fever, he or she cannot be in an air-conditioned room. First, the temperature in the air-conditioned room may be low, which is not conducive to the child's condition. Second, the ventilation effect and air quality in air-conditioned rooms are generally not ideal, which is not conducive to children. Therefore, he or she cannot be in an air-conditioned room.

Therefore, when a baby has a fever, it is generally recommended not to use an electric fan, as this can easily cause a cold and aggravate the condition. It is best to keep the room ventilated. However, if you really need to use an electric fan, you must remember not to let the fan blow directly at the baby, and it is best to hold the baby away from the fan. In addition, babies with fever cannot stay in air-conditioned rooms.
