Should children with fever be covered with a quilt while sleeping?

Whether a child should be covered with a quilt while sleeping during a fever should be determined based on the specific condition of the fever and the child's comfort level. 1. **Rising Phase**: If the child is in the rising phase of the fever and feels cold, with cold extremities or chills, additional quilts should be used to provide warmth, promote peripheral circulation, and help improve the febrile condition. 2. **Stable Phase**: When the child's body temperature is in the stable phase, the number of quilts can be appropriately reduced. Indoor humidity and temperature should be well controlled, avoiding extremes of high or low. 3. **Defervescence Phase**: If the fever is entering the defervescence phase and the child begins to sweat, a light covering is needed but should not be excessive or too heavy, as this may hinder heat dissipation. At the same time, care should be taken to prevent the child from becoming chilled. Parents should closely monitor the child's body temperature and comfort level, and promptly adjust the thickness of the quilt and the indoor environment to help the child recover more effectively.
