My son has a temp of 38.3 what should i do?

Jury still out: This question provokes a lot of discussion among providers as it is not completely "settled" yet. Fever is not the enemy. Certain types of infections can be either mild or serious and some cause fever as part of their course. Some of us believe it is the natural response and should play itself out. Hydration is essential (more so than food) and should be encouraged. Follow up is essential !
