Missing data: Fever is a natural body response to infection that aids healing. It increases heart rate to push healing factors around & breathing rate to add oxygen to the mix. You don't mention the amount of fever or other symptoms. I NEVER use more than 1 fever med & they rarely drop fever more than a degree. I concentrate on the kids fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Most fever can be ignored.
