Understanding Fever
🌡️ What is fever and why does it happen?
Fever is a body temperature above 38°C (100.4°F). It is not a disease — it is your child's immune system fighting an infection. Most fevers in children are caused by viral infections and will settle on their own within 3 to 5 days.
Giving paracetamol or ibuprofen helps your child feel more comfortable but does not treat the underlying cause. Keep your child well hydrated and comfortable.
• Is under 3 months old with any fever
• Has a rash that does not fade when pressed
• Is unusually drowsy, floppy or difficult to wake
• Has a febrile convulsion (fit)
• Has difficulty breathing
• Fever lasts more than 5 days
Common Care Guides
👶 Newborn Care — The First Weeks
Bringing a newborn home is one of life's most joyful and sometimes overwhelming experiences. Your baby will sleep 16 to 18 hours a day, feed every 2 to 3 hours and communicate entirely through crying in the early weeks. This is all completely normal.
Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for your baby for the first 6 months. If breastfeeding is difficult, please seek support early — it almost always gets better with the right help.
💉 Vaccination — Protecting Your Child
Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious diseases. Following the recommended vaccination schedule gives your child the best protection at the right time. Mild reactions like a sore arm or low-grade fever after vaccination are normal and settle within 1 to 2 days.
Respond to your child's needs warmly and consistently. Children who feel secure and loved develop better emotionally, socially and even physically. Your presence and attention are the most powerful tools you have.
