Many parents worry at the first sign of illness in a child and seek medical attention right away. Your instincts are correct to want to seek help, but you may not need to run to the doctor's office right away each time the sign of a fever or cold presents itself. A fever is one of the most common symptoms reported to doctors. A temperature of more than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit is considered a fever. A fever is the body's response to infection and implies a healthy immune response. It is important to realize that fever itself is not a disease, it is a sign of an underlying condition. Fevers of more than 101 degrees are most often controlled with acetaminophen. The recommended dosage is 10 to 15 mg per kg of the body weight every four hours. This medication is available as infant drops or children's liquid. Ibuprofen is equally effective in controlling fever and can be administered in doses of 5 to 10 mg per kg of body weight every six to eight hours.
