Fever baby - lemon bath?

Hi mummies, ftm here. How do i manage baby’s fever? Other than giving doctor’s panadol. My baby is 2 months+ he just got his jab and his body is on and off warm. How do i sponge him? Just like wipe down whole body? Room temp tap water or warm water or cold water? And does lemon soap or lemon bath helps with the fever ? #firsttimemom

I use warm water cause by the time I’m done, the water will cool off already. Then spam baby fever patches on the back of the neck, forehead and armpits. (I don’t wanna expose baby to too many medicines so I didn’t give panadol before 1. But also because my baby’s temp didn’t go beyond 38). After sponging (not too damp), I just let baby go topless or holey clothings, no blankets or swaddles so the heat won’t trap. Works for my baby. Never tried lemon soap/bath but I saw mummies mentioned rubbing baby skin safe lemon essential oils on the back and chest during fever or flu is useful. You might want to look into it.

Hi there, you can sponge him using lukewarm water to areas such as: forehead, neck, armpits and groin area. Do this for 10mins and dress baby in light & airy clothes. Try to keep baby hydrated and room well ventilated. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery! 🩷💙

I use luke warm water to sponge my baby.After spam with the "goodbye fever balm" over the neck,chest and back. Apply cool fever over forehead,chest and back.
