Fever in kids, especially in the very young ones, can be very worrisome for parents. I’m thankful that my kids rarely get sick. And by the way, I also do the same things you do when one of my kids catches a fever.
Helpful tips to home-nurse a child with fever. But there’s a new rule now in fever management, pediatricians usually advice giving anti-pyretics from 38.C coupled with continuous TSB to lower the temperature :))
for the first day i would suggest that to take the prelim usual things to do .. but if in the second day and the symptoms getting worst … run to the nearest hospital .. time today is no longer the same as before .. a lot of diseases sprouting like mushrooms…
If it’s still early and the clinic is still open I would call and bring my kids later after making them drink paracetamol and water…thanks for the above tips.
Thanks for this entry … very informative … i’m sure someone will find it helpful. From my experience my mom would always ask me to intake lots of fluids and bed rest to recover quickly.
fluid intake, damp towel, give paracetamol, monitor temperature… and if within 3 days it does not subside… bring the child to your pediatrician. Yahweh bless.
When my kids have fever… I just observe them for 24 hours. Give paracetamol and sponge bathe them. I also massage their back. I believe that they still have natural fighting power but if fever persists for another day… I have to bring them to the doctor.

This are sure fire ways to combat fever. Also, prevention is better than cure so its good to load on vitamins for kids.

When my children are sick, I feel sick with worry as well but mothers have to do what has to be done.
I immediately give my kids paracetamol as soon as i know they have fever. and yes, let the drink lots of fluids!
