Child fever guide: safe steps for parents
Understand fever, home care, and red flags in children.
Keep your child comfortable and offer fluids. Use paracetamol in the correct dose if needed.
Seek medical care if the child is very drowsy, has breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, seizures, or signs of dehydration.
Babies under 3 months with fever should be checked urgently.
