This video is about Fever - Ask Your Pediatrician, Dr Paul defines fever and tips on what to do.

For a child with fever, look at your child, and if really ill - get your child seen especially if lethargic, in pain, struggling to breath or suffering. What is a fever ; 38.2 c or 100.4 f based on oral under the tongue temperature. After age 3 months -an axillary digital thermometer is best. For less than 2 - 3 months age, take a digital rectal temperature and if a real fever have your infant seen. Past age 2 - 3 months, if your child looks good, this is not an emergency even at 104f / 40c. Most common cause of fever - viral -like colds. If super hot (104 or 39 - 40) do a sponge bath with cool wet clothes, treat the fever - double check the dose - ibuprofen if over 6 months old, and acetaminophen if under 6 months. If you get your child's fever down and they still look very ill - have them seen. Dose sheets available at drpaul.md
