Can children get a fever from using a fan?

Using a fan does not directly cause an increase in body temperature, but it may be associated with other factors. 1. Using a fan itself does not cause fever. Fever is a symptom characterized by a body temperature elevated beyond the normal range, usually caused by infections, inflammation, or other health issues. A fan only regulates air circulation and ambient temperature; it does not directly raise body temperature. 2. Prolonged exposure to a fan may cause a baby's body temperature to drop, especially in a cool environment. This may lead to cold-like symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, but it does not directly cause fever. The effect of a fan on body temperature is mostly indirect. 3. If a baby develops a fever while using a fan, it is usually due to other causes, such as infection or internal inflammation. Caregivers should monitor other symptoms in the baby, ensure the ambient temperature is appropriate, and maintain good hygiene practices. If a baby experiences persistent high fever or other abnormal symptoms such as poor appetite, drowsiness, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention promptly.
