When to Worry (and not Worry) About Your Child's Fever I Parentalogic

Your child’s temperature is rising. They have a shiver. Is this fever worth worrying about? Subscribe! https://bit.ly/30Y8PS3 Even without a pandemic going on, children’s fevers can be concerning—and sometimes downright confusing—for parents and caretakers. In this episode of Parentalogic, hosts Dr. Alok Patel and Bethany Van Delft answer all of your burning questions: What do you do if your kid has a fever? When should you call your doctor, bring your child to a hospital, or just stay home? Do ice baths actually work? And what exactly is a fever? Together, the duo rebrands fever’s bad image: “So basically, [childrens’] immune systems are setting up the right scenario to go to battle,” says Alok, who goes on to explain exactly what happens to your child when they get sick. First, pyrogens make their way to the brain’s hypothalamus, which acts like a body’s thermostat. Pyrogens are chemicals either from invading pathogens, like influenza or SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, or triggered from the immune system. Once in the hypothalamus, pyrogens drive up the body’s temperature. Experts believe that at a slightly elevated temperature, the chemical reactions used by the immune system are more efficient. This gives the immune system a competitive advantage over the virus or bacteria it’s fighting: Lots of microorganisms, it turns out, can’t take the heat. (Microorganisms aren’t the only things that can cause a fever, however. Autoimmune or autoinflammatory conditions, chronic or rheumatologic disease, pneumonia, ear infections, certain medications and vaccinations can all cause fever, too.) But can fevers get out of control? Can acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and ice baths safely reduce your child’s fever? And are fevers in young babies, especially infants less than 3 months old, ever OK? Watch and learn how to best help your child feel better from a fever and keep others around them healthy and safe (hint: Stay at home, social distance, and encourage frequent handwashing).
