1. Some parents are afraid to give their children medication and give only half the dose of antipyretic. Please remember: half the amount won’t do anything and it’s better not to give it at all. In short, if you think your child needs fever reducers, be sure to give the correct amount. 2, High fevers do not usually cause brain damage. 3, You don’t have to take medicine for a fever. Fever can help your child’s organism fight infection, so there is no need to take antipyretics unless the fever is making your child particularly uncomfortable. Because taking antipyretics does not bring the high temperature down to normal, but only makes the child feel more comfortable. For example, when the child feels irritable and restless fever, can not sleep and eat well, antipyretic medicine will indeed make the child a lot of comfort (temperature slightly lower on the start of play there), but also reduce the risk of dehydration. 4, the higher the temperature does not mean the more serious the disease. Every child reacts differently to a fever, so regardless of the number on the thermometer, the point is to watch your child carefully for signs of serious illness. For example, how uncomfortable they are, if they are energized, if they may be dehydrated, etc. 5, Just because a high temperature is measured on a thermometer doesn’t mean a trip to the emergency room is needed. When bacteria and viruses invade, a normal child’s body will fight off infection from foreign pathogens with a fever, so a fever actually shows that your child has a strong autoimmune defense system. So, except in rare cases, the presence of a high fever in your child during an infection is not an indicator of a decision to go to the emergency room.
