Fever is often the first sign that the body of your child is trying to fight a disease. You will then probably notice that the body temperature of your child is rising (the temperature range above 37.2 ° C is classified as a fever). This temperature rise - caused by chemical substances called “pyrogenes” help the body to kill infectious substances within the body of the child.
Usually the child will cry - especially when the child is too small to speak. Older children sometimes tell you that something is wrong or that they are feeling a discomfort.
Symptoms may be very different depending on the cause of the fever, but there are some general signs that can be followed:
• Irritability and lethargy
• No appetite
• Nocturnal restlessness
• Chills
• Pallor with cold hands and feet; However, forehead, belly and back are hot
• Hot body and reddened skin
• Sudden vomiting
If your child shows any of the symptoms described above, you can check if it’s fever by simply checking the temperature with a thermometer. It is useful to re-check the temperature of the child 30 minutes after administration of a drug to determine whether the temperature is still rising or falling.
