It is a sign that your child has to deal with something (still unknown). That is why fever is important and useful, because it supports the maturation of the immune system in the long term. Under certain circumstances (see below), fever should also be allowed. Children grow from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the temperature in your child's bottom during the first twelve months of life. From then on, ear thermometers are also possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A measurement above 38\u00b0C in the first three months or above 38.5\u00b0C from the fourth month of life is considered a fever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Give enough to drink<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bed rest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer gentle food (low fat).
