With winter approaching I see many little ones in my practice with coughs and ear infections.  One of the biggest concerns I hear from parents is that their child has a fever and I tell them GREAT ! I get some pretty funny looks, but I know when my daughter has a fever it makes me happy! Now you are giving me one of those looks…but, a fever will save you money in doctor’s visits and antibiotics!  A fever is the bodies way of fighting off a virus or bacteria.  When your body is able to take care of whatever is attacking it, it only makes our immune systems stronger !  So before you reach for the tyelenol, let the fever run it’s course! Give plenty of fluids, try to get some food in them, put a warm cloth on their wrists and back of the neck. If they are really lethargic and just not acting right, then call their doctor.
