•Children who meet the following criteria will be included in the study: Children between 28 days and 2 years old, hospitalized in the Pediatric Inpatient Unit/Ward for respiratory problems; Children with pain, evaluated by validated scales: Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), whether it is: severe, moderate or mild pain; or Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC), be it: severe, moderate or mild pain; Have the permission of their parents or guardians to participate in this study. In addition to these criteria, the inclusion of the same child within 12 hours of the last inclusion in the study will also be allowed if the child is not under the influence of pain management medications and the last medication for this purpose was taken within 6 hours, considering the time of action of the most used drugs.

•Exclusion criteria will be: Children over 2 years of age; Children using positive pressure ventilation (CPAP); Children awaiting transfer to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to worsening respiratory distress, since the immersion bath can cause crying and irritability and the condition worsens; Children who have taken any medication for pain management within 6 hours of pain detection using the validated scales; Children with a previous diagnosis of chronic pain. It is worth mentioning that there are medications that are used both for pain management and for other conditions, for example dipyrone, which in addition to being an analgesic also has antipyretic properties, and can be used in the management of fever. Thus, the researcher at the time of collection will pay attention to the medications that were previously administered to the child and whether they have analgesic properties, in order to avoid inclusion bias. If they also act in pain management, the medication must have been administered within a 6-hour interval prior to the moment of pain detection.
