A fever is a temporary increase in body temperature, and a sign that you’re fighting an illness or infection. The average normal temperature for a health person is 98.6 F (37 C). When it rises above that, especially in infants and toddlers, it can be serious.

Fever in Kids: What You Need to Know | Pediatric Fever Management

In this video I discuss fever in kids and what you need to know if your child has a fever. This video reviews when a fever is likely not serious, when to call your doctor, and when to seek emergency care. Fever in kids can be stressful and anxiety provoking for parents and caregivers, but knowing how to manage the fever at home and what fever signs and symptoms to look out for can help ease the anxiety. I also discuss what antipyretics to give children for a child’s fever, specifically Children’s tylenol and Children’s Ibuprofen. I also give some history on the difference between infant tylenol and children’s tylenol and why there is a such a price difference. I hope this educational video helps you understand what to do and when to worry when your child has a fever.
