WHAT IS NORMAL?
The average body temperature, taken with a thermometer in the mouth, is 37ºC (98.6ºF), but anywhere between 36.5ºC and 37.2ºC (97.7ºF and 99ºF) can be considered normal.

WHAT IS A FEVER?
A fever helps the body fight infections by stimulating the immune system. By increasing the body’s temperature, a fever makes it more difficult for the bacteria and viruses that cause infections to survive.

A fever is a high temperature of 38C or more.

RED FLAG SYMPTOMS TO BE AWARE OF:
Any of the following symptoms suggest that you or your child need urgent medical advice/help. They suggest that the symptoms could indicate a serious illness, and need emergency help.

I have tried my best to add as many red flag symptoms but incase I have missed anything please make sure to visit the following pages as well,

• A high temperature in a baby less than 8 weeks old
• The child is under 3 months old with a temperature of 38°C (101°F) or above
• The child is between 3 and 6 months with a temperature of 39°C (102°F) or above
• The child's fever lasts for more than 5 days
• Your child's health is getting worse
• Your child is under 8 weeks old and doesn't want to feed
• Cold feet and hands
• A high-pitched, weak or continuous cry in young children
• A lack of responsiveness, slower in activity or floppy, quiet or listless despite taking paracetamol or ibuprofen
• A bulging fontanelle (the soft spot on a baby’s head)
• A stiff neck
• Bothered by light
• Fits, convulsions or seizures
• Blue, very pale, mottled, blotchy or ashen/grey skin
• Difficulty breathing, fast breathing, grunting while breathing, or if your child seems to be struggling to breathe - for example, sucking their stomach in under their ribs
• Unusually drowsy, hard to wake up, unable to stay awake, doesn’t seem to recognise you or seem aware of what’s going on around them
• Severe abdominal pain
• A spotty purple-red rash anywhere on the body that doesn’t fade when a glass is rolled over it
• Repeated vomiting or green (bile-stained) sick
• You have any concerns about looking after your child at home

TIPS TO HELP A FEVER:
• Drink or encourage to drink plenty of fluids – offer regular breastfeeds if you're breastfeeding.
• Try to eat nutritious foods if you can.
• Check on your child from time to time during the night
• Tepid sponging is not recommended for treatment of fever
• Avoid bundling up in too many clothes or bedclothes
• Keep the room at a comfortable temperature, but make sure fresh air is circulating
• Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration

MEDICATION:
If your child seems distressed, consider giving them children's paracetamol or ibuprofen. These shouldn't be given together unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Adults can take paracetamol and/or ibuprofen to help reduce a fever.

Always check any medication with your healthcare professional, read the instructions on the bottle or packet carefully, and never exceed the recommended dose.

Do not use ibuprofen if you have a known allergy or asthma attacks have been triggered by it or medicines in the same family.

[keefyboi]

Im a teenager with 39c and reading those tips is simple and useful

[apolloapostolos]

Watching this as every bone ached today and still does. Woke up to a hot lit 🔥 headache and hot body over heating. Did a cool down with really cold water on the foreheard which helped. Ate a big handful of blueberries to open up cerebral capillaries. That was an intuitive decision. But after being up for a couple hours, I’m going to take a really warm shower session. Matthew Walker said the core-body drops after those.
This all happened suddenly. Thank you for this video. I will try I.B.P. also per my own judgment.
Being an adult often means fending for ourselves when we don’t know what to do. This video is a blessing. It’s so nice to have you around digitally right now. The comfort in community 👍 - hopefully I won’t need to revisit but if I do, I have something to look forward to. Cheers.

[naella]

Usually I'll drink plenty of water wrapped myself in blanket until I sweat it all out. Keep drinking water everytime I wake up(I always keep 1L water bottle nearby) to replace the missing body fluid. But I decided to watch this cuz I wanna know the right way to treat my husband(newly wed n expecting) cuz he got fever. Thank you for the info and with baby coming our way, the info for kids with fever really helped a lot.
