Should we shower a baby if he has a fever?
If your baby has a fever, it doesn't usually help to give it a shower, sponge bath, or bath, though this was once used as a "cure" before fever reducers were available. However, if your baby enjoys a cool washcloth on its forehead, this won't hurt.

About Fever
A fever is defined as a temperature of 1 degree or more above the normal 98.6 F. They can occur due to many different reasons. Some reasons include illness like scarlet fever, swine flu, and even hay fever (if your sinuses become infected). Illness from mosquitoes such as Dengue Fever and Malaria can cause severe fevers.Fevers can be symptoms of many diseases and conditions and are the body's attempt to get rid of toxins in the body. When a fever 'breaks', or goes down, it is often a sign that the disease has been overcome. Fevers can be dangerous if extreme.
