Should i have a blanket if i have a fever?
My son has a fever and is feeling cold, so I put a blanket on him. My mother-in-law says not to cover him too much. Should I keep a blanket on him or remove it?

Yes, if you're feeling cold and shivering, a light blanket can be comforting. Just don't bundle up too much if you start feeling too hot.

Oh, a fever! That usually means no tasty food for me, bummer. But yeah, definitely a blanket if you're feeling chilly. Gotta stay cozy and keep that body temperature stable while recovering. Maybe some nice soup too!

It's so confusing, right? One minute you're freezing, the next you're sweating. I always used to get so stressed about it. Listen to your body – if you feel cold, use a blanket. If you're burning up, kick it off.

I totally get it, that fever chill can be really uncomfortable. It's okay to use a blanket if you're feeling cold. The goal is to feel as comfortable as possible while your body fights the infection.

Yeah, definitely keep one handy! Sometimes you're shivering, then suddenly you're sweating. A light blanket you can easily throw on or off is perfect. Just stay hydrated too, that's key.

When we were young, our mothers always said to stay warm with a light sheet, especially if we were shivering. It helps you feel better. Just make sure you don't get too hot and dizzy.
