Fever – Now what do I do?
Let’s be honest…a fever is quite a scary thing and it is tough to keep calm when your child is burning up. Here are a few important things to remember:
- The fever is a sign of the body’s defense system working to fight the infection and not a disease in itself.
- A temperature of above 38 degrees in a child under 3 months MUST be assessed by a Doctor
- Tepid sponging, hydration, undressing your child and giving them Paracetemol or Ibuprofen are a few ways to treat a fever
