It can be difficult to watch your child suffer through a fever and determine
whether they require a doctor's visit or trip to the emergency room. Generally,
fevers themselves are not dangerous or harmful. A fever is the immune system's
natural response to fight infections, but can also be caused by heat exhaustion
or severe sunburn. Signs of fever include sweating, shivering, headache, muscle
aches and weakness, loss of appetite, and dehydration. Very high fevers can
lead to confusion, hallucinations, and convulsions. If your child has these fever
symptoms, seek medical attention right away. If your child does have a fever,
that alone is not cause for alarm.
