In this solo episode, I’m talking about a topic that causes a lot of fear and confusion for parents: childhood fevers. Many parents worry when their child’s temperature rises, but what does the evidence actually say? I break down the facts around fevers and explain when not to worry and the red flags to watch for, with evidence-based advice so you can feel more confident the next time your child develops a fever.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why fevers are actually a good thing
  • Points of confusion when it comes to fevers
  • Cut-off points when measuring your child’s temperature
  • Research on medication use
  • What a febrile convulsion is and how they may be caused
  • How to help protect your child from febrile convulsions
  • Natural options to manage your child’s fever
