Some helpful information on fever
•
Call your doctor if your child has diarrhea, vomiting or changes in appetite, lethargy (sluggishness) or is
unusually sleepy.
•
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. A child's normal
temperature can be as high as 37.7°C or as low as 36.1°C. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine
normal temperature. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever.
Wait for lines to appear
