Febrile Illness, Uncertain Cause (Child)
Your child has a fever, but the cause is not certain. A fever is a natural reaction of the body to an illness, such as infections due to a virus or bacteria. In most cases, the temperature itself is not harmful. It actually helps the body fight infections. A fever does not need to be treated unless your child is uncomfortable and looks and acts sick.
HOME CARE:
FOLLOW UP as advised by our staff or if your child is not improving after 2 days. If blood and urine tests were done, call in 2 days, or as directed, for the results.
