FEVER

Fever is the body's reaction to invasion by foreign bodies. However, the cause for this fever has to be diagnosed and treated. Commonly the following symptoms are observed in the case of a fever:

• A few hours before you physically sense fever, the baby gets highly irritable and tired. She does not sleep well and does not eat properly.

• As soon as you sense that her body is hot, use a thermometer and check her temperature by inserting it into her anus for a minute.

• Give her Paracetamol according to the dosage prescribed for her weight. If the fever persists administer Paracetamol after 6 hours. If the temperature persists for more than 12 hours, take her to a doctor

• If the fever is because of immunization (some of which might have been done as long as 3 weeks ago), it will persist for a day or two and vanish without further medication.
