Fever in Children, Babies, and Kids - When to Worry?

As a Pediatrician and mother, I know fever phobia is real.
I break it all down so you can feel more confident in handling fevers in your children. Share this video with a friend, partner, or grandparent because fever is THE #1 reason we see panicked parents in our office, when MANY times its nothing to panic about.

    I think they're good for screening. Commonly used in this pandemic, btw! But, for accuracy, Im not a fan. BUT, that being said when Im looking at overall demeanor of a child, it may not really matter. If a child is older, we are going by how they are acting any way, so accuracy is not as important unless indicated by the doctor for certain conditions!

    Motrin has to be at least 6 hours from the last dose of Motrin so if you give Motrin at 5:20am you could next give it at 11:20am

    Thank u so much for this video. What if my 3years old toddler has cough, runny nose and fever? He's not lethargic, he's active, I give him water throughout the day to keep him hydrated. I've been giving him tylenol and motrin. His temperature decreases with medication but it's been like 7days. Shld I take him to the ER ?

    Yes! The height of the fever is not so much the worry but more so how the child looks overall. So even with a 105 fever, you can medicate at home and as long as they perk up and act well when the fever comes down and have no other concerning symptoms you can skip the er visit!

    It's common for kids (and adults!) to shiver with a fever. You can use Tylenol or Motrin (as long as age appropriate) to bring down the fever which should help the shivering

    Many children have hallucinations or experience confusion when they have a high fever or as the fever is coming down. I wouldn’t worry unless these episodes continue to persist well after the fever is resolved or you have other significant behavioral concerns unrelated to illness. Hope that helps!

    This could be one of two things. Sheer coincidence OR periodic fever syndrome. Periodic fever syndrome is rare but its fever in cyclical nature that occurs monthly and is usually associated with aphthous ulcers. I will do a video n this

    Also very important to monitor how they're acting. Likely a 106.3 is a very uncomfortable child. If you give them meds and they remain unwell OR if they are just not responsive, don't hesitate to seek medical attention

    What about a young toddler who is starting symptoms of illness - URI like- and is say 99 before dinner and you monitor. Does one need to check to see if a fever develops overnight while they’re sleeping? Or should we expect that if they do develop a fever they will wake up on their own?

    Hopefully you watched the video! It covers when to worry with a fever and what to do if your baby gets one. If you're concerned always seek advice from your child's clinician but often at that age fever can be monitored at home if baby is otherwise doing well ❤

    Some kids do tend to vomit more in response to fever/illnesses than other kids. I'd stick to bland foods and focusing on hydration when not feeling well and consider using OTC fever reducing medication discussed in the video if the fever is causing discomfort
