ingly, mothers should be fully acquainted with some facts about

the armpit or between thighs. It is not allowed to use a bath of ice
because the rapid difference of temperature is dangerous against
the child
The bath of water is not dangerous provided the temperature of
water must be two degrees less than the temperature of the child’s
body.

ers because of the high temperature; however, it is possible to put
a light sheet on his body.

sons behind the child’s high temperature; however, if this high
temperature is a result of a virus, it will decrease without treat-
ment. Yet, if it is a result of bacteria, it is necessary to take antibi-
otics after visiting the physician.
The virus which causes the high temperature may disappear in five
days; in addition, it may disappear within a day as per its type.
