Fever is one of the most common symptoms reported to pediatricians.
A temperature of more than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit is considered fever. Usually it means that the body's defense mechanism is interacting with an infectious or a non-infectious process. Viral or bacterial infections, vaccines, tissue injury, drugs, and altered metabolic states are some of the examples of such processes. Fever management is a part of the routine anticipatory guidance on all health care visits. Parents should be comfortable with fever management techniques.
