Definition

Fever is defined as a rectal temperature ≥38°C, and a value >40°C is called hyperpyrexia. Body temperature fluctuates in a defined normal range (36.6°C-37.9°C rectally), so that the highest point is reached in early evening and the lowest point is reached in the morning. Any abnormal rise in body temperature should be considered a symptom of an underlying condition.

Fever with temperatures <39°C in healthy children generally does not require treatment. However, as temperatures become higher, patients tend to become more uncomfortable, and treatment of fever is then reasonable. If a child is included in one of the high-risk groups or if the child’s caregiver is concerned that the fever is adversely affecting the child’s behavior and causing discomfort, treatment may be given to hasten the resolution of the fever.

To reduce fever most safely, the caregiver should choose one type of medication and clearly record the dose and time of administration, so overdosage does not occur, especially if multiple caregivers are involved in the management. Physical measures such as tepid baths and cooling blankets are not considered effective to reduce fever. Evidence is also scarce for the use of complementary and alternative medicine interventions.
