Sponge Bath for a Child's Fever

• A sponge bath may be given if : Your child's fever is 104°F (40°C) or higher and
• Acetaminophen or ibuprofen has not lowered the temperature (1) and
• Your child is very uncomfortable.
• Give your child an appropriate dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen before giving him or
her a sponge bath (2).
• Wait 30 minutes to see whether the medicine brings the child's fever (3) below 104°F
(40°C).
• Acetaminophen can be found in many forms and comes in different doses (4).
• Be safe with medicines.
• Read and follow all instructions on the label.
• Do not give your child more than the maximum dose recommended on the label.
• Be careful when giving your child over the counter (5) or flu medicines and
acetaminophen at the same time.
• Many of these medicines already contain acetaminophen (6). Too much acetaminophen
can be harmful.
• Do not use other nonprescription medicines, such as nonsteroidal anti inflammatory (7)
drugs (NSAIDs), until you have talked with your health professional.
• Give a sponge bath as follows :Use lukewarm (8) water [ 90°F (32.2°C) to 95°F (35°C)] .
• Do not use cold water, ice, or rubbing (9) alcohol, which will lower the child's body
temperature too quickly.
• Sponge for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stop if the child starts to shiver (10).
• If your child doesn't like the sponge bath or doesn't feel better after the bath, there is no
need to give another one.
