DON"T BRING DOWN!!!: While it's common for parents to fear fever, FEVER IS CENTRAL TO HOW OUR BODIES FIGHT INFECTION. Microbes do not survive well at higher temperatures and our immune systems work better! Lowering fever SABOTAGES the immune system and prolongs infection! Keep well-hydrated. Consider homeopathic belladonna. If temp. goes above 40 try a lukewarm sponge bath. See https://tinyurl.com/y7a84ph8
