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
