What Is Fever And Is It Dangerous To Children?

Throughout the ages, certain myths have caused an uproar… kiss a frog and get a prince, goldfish only have a three-second memory, and all fevers are bad for children.

Fever is defined as a body temperature of > (more than/equal to) 38 degrees C.^1a  As strange as it may seem, fevers can be a good thing. A fever is your child’s body’s way of fighting off infections and helping speed up recovery.^1b

What Causes Pain And Fever In Children?

Viral infections are common in infants and children, and most are not serious, including the common cold and a sore throat.²

Teething can be uncomfortable for young children as the tooth cuts through the gums,^3a while in older children, cavities may also cause toothache.^3b Childhood vaccinations can also cause fever and local reaction (pain, swelling and redness).^1c

Headaches are common in children, affecting up to 75% of school-aged children,4a and are commonly caused by viral or an upper respiratory tract infection.^4b
