My child has a fever
Advise for Parents and Carers When Your Child Has a Fever
Look for signs of dehydration including poor urine output, dry mouth, sunken fontanelle (“soft spot”), absence of tears, sunken eyes, and poor overall appearance.
Offer regular fluids (if breastfeeding, continue this as normal) and encourage a higher intake if signs of dehydration develop.
Dress the child appropriately for their surroundings, with the aim of preventing overheating or shivering.
Avoid using tepid sponging (using cool water) to cool the child.
Check the child regularly, including during the night.
Keep the child away from nursery or school while the fever persists, and notify the nursery or school of the illness.
Seek medical help if:
Your child is getting dehydrated.
Your child has a fit.
Your child develops a non-blanching rash.
The fever lasts longer than 5 days.
Your child is becoming more unwell.
If you are getting concerned.
