Advice for parents/carers:
Fever is extremely common in children and usually suggests that your child has an infection. It's really important that you measure your child's temperature accurately - you should use a digital thermometer (under the the armpit (axillary) for children 5 years and younger, and in the mouth for children over 5 years of age). The other option is to use an in the ear thermometer (tympanic), although these should not be used in babies below 6 months of age.
