According to a report in Ladies' Home Journal, parents should realize that fever is a symptom of illness, not a disease itself. For this reason, doctors caution parents to treat the child rather than the fever. Dr. Robert A- - Mendelson, a prac- ticing pediatrician in Portland, Ore., explains that a child with a 103 degree or 104 degree temperature who has an appetite and is acting normally is less of a worry that a child with a 101 degree temperature who is pale and listless, whose activity level is way below normal and who sleeps more Utn usual. How the temperature is taken, the age of the child and the time of day the temperature was taken are other factors to be considered. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), both rectal and oral temperature are accurate, Utough rectal may be about one degree higher than oral because it is a reading from inside the body. Remember, too, temperature is usually lowest in Uie morning, highest in the late afternoon or evening. Mendelson recommends the rruwury-filta- d glass thermometer. Doctors suggest the following as a guide to when to call the pediatrician: call immediately if a child under six months has a fever of 100 degrees or higher (an infant's immune system is not as well equipped to fight off infection as that of an older child). Call immediately if an older child has a temperature of 101 degrees accompanied by pain, vomiting or diarrhea. If temperature is 101 degrees, but the child does not appear ill, wait 24 hours to see if the fever subsides. If the child is uncomfortable, give g lukewarm baths and medication, using only products containing aceteminophen, since aspirin has been associated with a serious condition known as Reye syndrome. Cool baths may drive the fever higher, as will bundling in heavy clothes. Alcohol rubs are not recommended. Offer plenty of liquids, but don't force children to eat if they are not hungry. Children should rest indoors for 24 hours after a fever has subsided, since they may be susceptible to other infections. Though doctors know of : ian-ge- r from even a high fever, one that is rising rapidly may trigger febrile convulsions in susceptible children. While this can be terrifying to see, Mendelson urges parents to stay calm. Ease the child to the floor, lay her on her back and turn her head to one side. Open her mouth so she can breathe.
