Babies

• Remember, fevers are your body's natural response to infection, and not necessarily a sign that something serious is taking place.
• Low-grade fevers are generally not serious, are easily treated, and can wait until the morning to be evaluated by your doctor.
• Fevers of 101 to 103 (38.4 to 39.5 Celcius) are also generally not serious and can wait until morning to be evaluated, except as indicated below.
• High fevers of 104 (40 Celcius) or higher that quickly come down to 100 or 101 (37.8 to 38.3 Celcius) with the treatment measures below are also generally not serious and can wait until morning, except as indicated below.

So for now, don't rush to page your doctor. Read through this section, and call your doctor during office hours, or page your doctor according to the following guidelines:

Here are the situations that usually warrant an urgent call to your doctor. If none of these fit your current situation, then you probably don't need to page your doctor. Follow our treatment advice below and call your doctor during office hours.

• If your infant is 6 weeks or younger, and has a fever of 101 or higher, this is considered a medical emergency. Your doctor should evaluate your infant right away, either during business hours, or in an emergency room after hours. Do not give any fever-reducing medications in this situation (you don't want to hide the fever until after a doctor has evaluated your baby). Be sure to confirm any fevers with a rectal thermometer (if available) before contacting your doctor.
• Infants age 7 weeks to three months with a fever over 101 warrant an appointment with your doctor within the next several hours. You generally don't need to page your doctor in the middle of the night in this situation if the office opens within the next few hours. Simply follow our recommendations on treating fever below and call your doctor in the morning. If it is the early evening you should probably page your doctor, since the office won't be open until the following day. Be sure to confirm any fevers with a rectal thermometer (if available) before contacting your doctor.
• If your child of any age has one or more of the following symptoms, you should probably call your doctor right away:
  • High fevers of 104 (40 Celcius) or higher that don't come down to 101 or 102 (38.3 to 38.9 Celcius) with the treatment measures below.
  • Lethargy - this means more than your child just isn't acting right or laying quietly in your arms. Lethargy actually refers to your child being limp, lifeless, unresponsive, or won't make eye contact.
  • Irritability - this means more than just fussiness. A truly irritable child will cry for hours with minimal verbal interaction, and is almost impossible to console.
  • Meningitis - symptoms are high fever, stiff neck or pain in the back of the neck, vomiting, headache, bright light hurts the eyes. Before paging your doctor, you should also look up any other symptoms your child has, such as cough, vomiting, rash, etc and read those guidelines to determine your best course of action.

No. Many parents have a misconception that fevers are a bad thing and a sign that there is some serious underlying illness. This simply is not true. Fever is a normal and healthy response of the body to an illness. The body's immune system releases chemicals that raise the body temperature. This is part of the normal infection-fighting process.WHAT TEMPERATURE CONSTITUTES A FEVER?

• Normal temperature - 97 to 99 degrees (36 to 37.2 Celcius).
• Low-grade fever - 99 to 100.9 degrees (37.3 to 38.3 Celcius).
• Common fever - 101 to 103.5 degrees (38.4 to 39.7 Celcius).
• High fever - any fever over 103.6 degrees (39.8 Celcius).

To reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), experts recommend that you place your baby on his back when you put him down to sleep during his first year. The risk of SIDS peaks between 1 and 4 months of age but remains a threat until babies are 12 months.

Once your baby is strong enough to roll from back to front and front to back by himself, you don't need to worry about him rolling onto his stomach during sleep. But you should still put him down to sleep on his back until he is a year old.

Of course, you'll also want to follow other precautions to reduce the risk of SIDSthroughout your baby's first year. Make sure his mattress is firm with just a fitted sheet over it and there's nothing else in his crib - no pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, or even crib bumpers. Don't overheat the room or overdress your baby, and don't let anyone smoke near him.

Preventing SIDS is the most important reason to put your baby to sleep on her back, but a study published in 2003 in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found other benefits, too: Infants who sleep on their back suffer from fewer ear infections, fevers, and stuffy noses than babies who sleep in other positions.

By the way, there's no need to worry that your baby is more likely to choke or aspirate (if she spits up, for example) while she's on her back. Studies have shown that there is no increase in the likelihood of this happening to a baby sleeping on her back.
