Is It Safe To Swim In The Indoor Pool During Fever?

We are going to a water park tomorrow night for two nights and our 19 mos. old has a slight fever. He's fine with Motrin in him, but is it safe for him to swim in the indoor pool even if his fever has lowered with medicine? We have a 6 and 4 year old who would be disappointed not to go. Thanks.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, it is not adviced to go to pool if 19 month is having fever.

Because though the fever has brought down there is chance of reappearance of the fever and infection.

You can send your other children to the pool but not the fever child.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
