A member asked:
My 9 yr old sis has little fever. no worrisome symptoms, breathing fine, swallowing fine. however breathing just a little faster. normal with fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: Fever is usually an early sign that the immune system is fighting something. No need to worry just yet but be on the lookout for other symptoms such as cold, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Make sure she is comfortable and drinking lots of fluids. If she really worsens then have her seen by her doctor.
