DID YOU KNOW?

 
 

On average, a child has up to 10 infections per year. Body temperature isn’t a reliable indicator of illness for babies and young children – a child may have a mild temperature according to the thermometer (slightly over 37°C), but seem happy and healthy. Trust your own instincts, but seek medical help if your child:

  • Is aged six months or less

  • Has a rash

  • Has a fever of 40°C or more

  • Is still feverish after a day or so, despite four-hourly doses of baby paracetamol

  • Vomits or has persistent diarrhoea

  • Refuses food or drink

  • Cries inconsolably

  • Seems listless, floppy or just looks ill

  • Convulses or twitches

  • Has trouble breathing

  • Is in pain

If you feel at all worried or concerned at any stage, consult with your doctor.
