You wake up in the middle of the night with chills, even though you’re buried in your duvet. Or, your child is crying, with a forehead that’s hot to the touch. All signs point to fever, but you’ll need to get out your thermometer to confirm.
A fever is a temporary rise in body temperature (anything over 37.6°C or 99.7°F) designed to fight off infection. Depending on the style of thermometer, you can take someone’s temperature in the ear, under the tongue, or in the armpit.
Ask our pharmacist about the correct dosing for fever-reducing medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, to help keep you or your family comfortable until the fever passes.
