this article misses a lot of key points. you need the microflora during these cleaning events to be kept withn useful limits. saw tooth wave up down temp shows body in control. its always a mistake to force reduction in temp because then there is no control mechanism. most pathogens die at relatively low increases. when they reduce under temperature they don't mutate.
How do you know if it is bacterial or viral? What if you leave it too late? I think these are the concerns. At what point a fever has to be reported to the docs. Feels like when they are hard to wake or have a problematic rash could be too late? Are there any other hints as to what should trigger a visit to the doc?
hydration, not fretting and a calm environment is what the child needs. non disappearing rash needs help view. vast majority need simple nursing. NICE 2009 guidelines on fever 'dont give Calpol to a child with a fever it causes more problems
