Children have higher fevers than adults.
Symptoms of loss of appetite, fatigue, body aches, restlessness, and sweating are all common with fevers. Follow package instructions regarding dose and time. Do NOT give children aspirin or aspirin-based medications. If the temperature is higher than 102 F, give your child a sponge bath of lukewarm water for 20 minutes. Sponge the water over the child's back and chest.
