Do you have
fever phobia? The American Academy of Pediatrics says this is a problem
in this country. Fever is one of the most common clinical symptoms in
children. Certainly, if the temperature is elevated, it can be a warning
sign there are other problems. The fever is really the body's way to
fight infection and sometimes a low-grade fever is not a bad thing.
However, due to advertising and the ready availability of many medications to
control fever, there are patients who will turn to medicine every time a
temperature is over 99.5 and that is a mistake.
We always
appreciate your comments.
