[ Symptoms ] how do you break a fever in a toddler [ Disease ] remember that any fever in a newborn infant under 3 months of age needs prompt medical attention because at that age it is hard to tell when a serious infection might be present a fever is the body is natural response to infection or other illness and will subside when the underlying process gets better other than treating the infection or other condition causing it no home treatments can shorten the duration of a fever also remember that fever does not always need to be treated if a toddler is acting normally and unbothered by her fever and her temperature is less than 104 degrees 40 degrees celsius there is no need to treat the fever for a fever that is high or is bothering your toddler either acetaminophen mapap tylenol or ibuprofen advil motrin are good treatments you will need to know your toddler is weight do not guess and use the dosing guidelines on the package it is best to stick with one medicine if you can if you feel you need to use multiple drugs call your pediatrician is office do not ever use aspirin to treat a child is fever as it increases the risk for reye is syndrome if sponging with water helps your child with a fever feel better use a warm bath not cool with water around 85 degrees i know it sounds weird but my great granny used to cut an onion in half and put one half on the bottom of each foot then cover with socks and leave them on me all night in addition to tylenol or advil when i would wake up in the morning my fever would be gone or at least drasticly reduced and the onions in my socks would be black she said the onions drew the fever away from the brain and other vital organs i do not unserstand how it works but i used this on my children and now on my grands and it works every time it helps to understand what a fever is some of the answers on here are very misleading and are not factual at all a fever occurs when the body increases in temperature most common cause of this is an infection of some kind the white blood cells that eat the infection release chemicals that go to the brain and tell it to raise the temperature of the body the brain has a set point for our temperature 98 6f it is like a central heatingcooling system with a thermostat in a house if the temp gets hot the ac turns on if it gets to cold the heater kicks on and the temperature stays at 98 6f what these chemicals from the white blood cells do is they increase the thermostat so the brain now has a set point of 101 f but the body is still 98 6 f so the heater kicks on you get shivers moving of muscles fast makes heat you |
