A. there is no compulsion as well as rules as how many times it could be done. you have to do in such a manner that the child is not uncomfortable and also the temperature regulation has to be maintained

A. Hello mam it is completely your choice as to how many times can you give it 3 to 4 times would be really good and a minimum time should be 3 to 4 minutes as that way the heat will get into the body and will release mucus from the body so 3 to 4 minutes should be fine or you can extend the time if you wish to.Write Your Answer Here
