Join us as we take a close look at the hot topic of fever in children. We demystify the fever response, and peel back the layers of parental worry that have sprung up around this important — and natural — response to infection.
We ask:
Why do kids make a fever?
Can a fever go too high?
When should parents worry about a fever? Should they ever worry?
What about fever, or febrile, seizures?
And is it ok to use anti-fever medications; and if so, when?
Our goal is to leave parents with a balanced understanding of fever, and to endow them with a calm perspective on this important aspect of the infection response.
