Five Symptoms to Watch For
-
Watch out for these symptoms in addition to fevers as they may be signs of a serious– and possibly dangerous – illness. Keep an eye out for the following five symptoms, which could indicate a problem when coupled with a fever.
-
- If you notice any of these symptoms with a fever, call your pediatrician right away.
- In general, it’s a good idea to check with your pediatrician if you feel uncomfortable about your child’s appearance or behavior, no matter the temperature of your child. Trust your gut.
- Remember, too, that fever is only one sign of illness. Be sure to mention symptoms such as a cough and ear pain (if you suspect it) or vomiting and diarrhea – these can help your pediatrician make a more accurate diagnosis.
-
Before you can treat a fever it is important to accurately measure your child’s temperature. Here are a few easy techniques to get you started.
When a child is sick, the first thing the doctor’s office may ask is, “What’s her temperature and how did you take it?” There are a variety of thermometers and ways to take a child’s temperature, so it’s helpful to know what’s recommended for each age.
Basic digital thermometers are a good choice. They are accurate, fast, easy to use, inexpensive, and can be used for a variety of temperature-taking methods: in the bottom (rectal), by mouth (oral), or under the arm. NOTE: A thermometer used for taking temperatures should not be used for other methods.
Children under age 4 years:
- Active, older children may not cooperate well with the rectal method. Another option is the underarm method, but it is less accurate. An underarm reading can be as much as 2 degrees lower than an internal rectal reading.
To take an underarm temperature:
- Remove your child’s shirt.
- Make sure the underarm is dry.
- Press the thermometer tip against the armpit.
- Keep your child’s arm firmly against her side.
- Hold until it beeps, then remove for reading.
Children ages 4 & up:- For older kids, a temperature taken by mouth is accurate when taken properly (your child must be able to hold the thermometer in place long enough to get a reading).
To take an oral temperature:- Wash the thermometer, then rinse with cool water.
- Put the tip under your child’s tongue, near the back of the mouth.
- Hold in place until it beeps, then remove for reading.
If you have questions or concerns, talk to your doctor.Other ways to take your child’s temperature:
- Ear thermometers are quick and comfortable, but can be tricky to use.
- Temporal artery thermometers are swiped across the forehead (they may be reliable, but are more expensive).
- Fever strips and pacifier thermometers are not recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Fevers could be a sign that your child’s body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers are caused by common childhood illnesses like colds, flu, ear infections, bronchitis, and tonsillitis.
-
For a parent, it’s understandable to be concerned when your child has a fever. Usually, a fever is just a symptom of an infection or other condition. In most cases, a fever will go away on its own in 2 or 3 days.
If your child has a fever but is playing, eating, and behaving as usual, you may not need to do anything. But if your child feels bad, your treatment goal should be to help him or her feel more comfortable. Reducing the fever may help him or her feel more comfortable, but remember that your child’s temperature may not have to return all the way to normal to provide improved comfort.
Here’s how to know if it’s time:
-
Fever reducers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help make your child more comfortable. They usually work in 30 to 60 minutes. Ask your doctor for his or her recommendation. Comfort Tip: A sleeping child is a comfortable child. Most pediatricians recommend that you not wake a sleeping child to give fever medicine.
Other steps to consider:- Sponge child’s body with slightly warm water (only if child finds it comforting). Stop if child begins to shiver.
- Keep child cool with light clothing and a lower room temperature.
- Make sure child drinks lots of liquids.
-
Pain relievers can help reduce your child’s fever and relieve minor aches and pains. There are two kinds approved for children—acetaminophen (found in Children’s TYLENOL®) and ibuprofen (found in Children’s MOTRIN®). Aspirin should not be given to children, since it can cause a serious illness, called Reye’s syndrome.
Over-the-counter pain relievers are widely used medicines in America. But like all medicines, they can be harmful if you don’t use them properly. The following steps can help you use children’s pain relievers safely every time.
Know the proper dose.
Children grow quickly, so it’s important to read the label every time to find the right dose for your child’s current weight (or age, if weight is unknown). For young children, the label may tell you to ask your doctor for the correct dose. When there is more than one child in the home, it can be easy to get dosage amounts for children of different ages confused.
Measure accurately.
For accuracy, use only the dosing device that came packaged with the product. Generally, infants’ products come with syringes for measuring, and children’s products generally come with dosing cups.
Don’t give another dose too soon.
Read the label to make sure you know how often to give the medicine. If you give another dose too soon, you can harm your child.
More important facts about children’s pain relief:
- Don’t give adult medicine to children, even in smaller amounts.
- Always read and follow the label.
- Don’t take more than one medication that contains the same active ingredient.
If you are going to give your child more than one medicine on any given day, check the “Active Ingredients” on all labels. Many over-the-counter and prescription medicines—including multiple-symptom cough and cold medicines—contain acetaminophen (the active ingredient in TYLENOL®) as well as other ingredients like antihistamines and cough suppressants.
