For parents with babies or young children, fever is a part of their daily life.
Fever phobia is the name given by medical experts to parents' misconceptions about fever in their babies and children. Many parents incorrectly believe that fever is a disease rather than a medical sign, that even low fevers are harmful, and that any temperature even briefly or slightly above normal number marked on a thermometer is a clinically significant fever.
Parents are also afraid of harmless side effects like febrile seizures and dramatically overestimate the likelihood of permanent damage from typical fevers.
As a result of these misconceptions parents are anxious, give the child fever reducing medicine when the temperature is technically normal or only slightly elevated, and interfere with the child's sleep to give the child more medicine. Parents tend to suspect that their children's brains may melt.
Young children, especially babies and infants, cannot properly describe their symptom. Every household with babies or young children should therefore possess a clinical thermometer like Safe Baby Solutions Recommended Baby Thermometer. With this forehead digital thermometer it is very easy for parents to check if their baby has fever and parents can even take the temperature when the baby is asleep.
Fever should not necessarily be treated. Most people, adults and children, recover without specific medical attention. Although it is unpleasant, fever rarely rises to a dangerous level even if untreated. Some limited evidence supports sponging or bathing feverish babies and children with tepid water. The use of a fan or air conditioning may somewhat reduce the temperature and increase comfort. If the temperature reaches an extremely high level, aggressive cooling may be required. In general, people are advised to keep adequately hydrated.
