Fever is often the first sign of an illness in children. When your child has a temperature it can be a worrying and stressful time.

There are very specific guidelines when it comes to safely administering over the counter medications to babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

Ensuring your child washes their hands frequently is one of the best ways to prevent against colds.

Sore throats and coughs are two very common illnesses for children.

Once you have established your toddler has a fever and have taken practical measures, such as placing them in a cooler environment, to combat this, a fever-reducing medication can be administered.
