It is not recommended to take a cold bath to lower a fever, and it may even cause worse damage since it lowers the body temperature a lot. It is best to just take medicine if you really want to lower the fever.

Should I give my toddler a bath if they have a fever?

It's generally safe to give your toddler a lukewarm bath if they have a fever, as it can help lower their body temperature and provide comfort. However, avoid using cold water, as it may cause shivering, which can raise their body temperature. Always monitor your child's comfort level and consult a pediatrician if the fever is high or persists. If your toddler seems very ill or is experiencing other concerning symptoms, it may be best to skip the bath and focus on their overall care.

Why it is hard to give a dog a bath?

It is only hard to give a dog a bath if you haven't trained the dog to be bath-friendly or if the bath isn't the correct temperature.Baths are not natural to dogs, they are content with jumping in rivers and lakes, so you will have to teach your dog to sit still in the bath, using commands and keeping treats nearby to give afterwards.Make sure the water isn't too high (up to their knees is high enough). Make sure it isn't too hot or too cold, it should be lukewarm - dogs are smaller so they feel hot and cold stronger than we do. It may also help to talk to your dog in a reassuring voice throughout the bath. Consider a training course or a training book.
