Fever

Let's Define Fever for everyone.  Fever is defined as temperature greater than or equal to 100.5 F.  Temperatures of 99, 100.1, etc. are normal and nothing to worry about.

When should you worry about fever?  In an infant 0-60 days we worry about any fever.  for a child over 60 days of age we worry about the other symptoms that go with fever or fevers that last more than 2-3 days.

Good luck.
