[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t want to bring down a fever unless you absolutely have to (fever is helping fight the infection). But, if it’s too high or the child is too uncomfortable to calm down (like screaming nonstop) then do the smallest dose you can. Also, obviously check with nurse line or pediatrician.[/quote] This is not true. You are not stopping the immune system from fighting the infection if you take Tylenol and the fever goes down. You don’t have to treat the fever, but if the child is uncomfortable, you should absolutely try to make them more comfortable by giving them medication, especially because they are more likely to drink liquids if they are comfortable, and dehydration is dangerous.[/quote]
