How To Help Your Child Cope With Their Fever at Night
Helpful or not, a high fever can make a child feel absolutely miserable. When that's the case, there is a good reason to do all you can to relieve it.
Fevers lower than 102 F generally don't cause discomfort in kids and don't require medication. If your child's fever is higher than 102 F or they are very uncomfortable, you can consider using fever reducers to bring it down.
In addition to monitoring your child's temperature and behavior, experts recommend that you take the following steps to manage your child's fever.
1. Keep your child hydrated while they're awake
2. Use fever reducers when needed
3. Dress your child comfortably
