A. hello fever usually does not occur by giving bath and you may give paracetamol for fever and if it is persistent then must get the evaluation done to check for the cause of fevr.

A. Sometimes giving head bath to the child and give the head is wet for a longer duration a child can catch cold also and fever also that can be the reason behind it but in the current scenario I would recommend you to please talk to your doctor about it

A. Use shower cap to avoid such issues while head bath. And always use warm water for head bath.

A. Hi I am not an expert, but I would request you not to close baby’s mouth while bathing her. This can cause breathing suffocation in babies. If you doubt swallowing of water while bathing causes fever, I would suggest you to try giving her bath in boiled and cooled water. Thank you
