Nursing care is particularly important when a baby has a fever and is sweating.
1. Wet clothes should be changed promptly to keep the baby dry and comfortable, avoiding a secondary chill. At the same time, gently wipe away the baby's sweat using a soft, clean towel, especially areas prone to sweating such as the forehead, neck, and back.
2. Pay attention to hydration; give the baby an appropriate amount of warm water or light salt water to prevent dehydration.
3. Regarding diet, choose light and easily digestible foods such as porridge and noodles, avoiding greasy and spicy foods.
Closely monitor changes in the baby's body temperature. If the temperature continues to rise or symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly. Also, maintain a suitable indoor environment with good air circulation, avoiding direct exposure of the baby to cold drafts.
