Fever is not harmful: First determine the cause. If your child looks ill, get her checked by a doctor. If child does not appear ill and has no associated worrisome symptoms the need to lower the fever will be for comfort measures and to prevent dehydration. Fever is not generally harmful, a temp of 101.6 can be effectively managed with hydration and rest.

It happens: Fever reducers/pain meds like ibuprofen can be counted on to take a degree or so off the top, but will not necessarily end fever. The germ that triggers fever producing chemicals in the blood is still there, and the germ is more in control of response than the med.Fever is a body healing aid.It increases circulation and breathing to support the healing process.
