Normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C)under 37. Fever is generally defined as greater than 100.4°F (38°C).37 A fever can be serious in young children. <h2>What causes a fever in children?</h2>Fever is commonly caused by a viral /?va?r?l/ 病毒性的 infection. Your child's body uses a fever to help fight the virus. The cause of your child's fever may not be known. <h3>Fighting a Fever</h3>For almost all kids, fevers aren't a big problem. When the cause of the fever is treated or goes away on its own, your body temperature comes back down to normal and you feel like your old self again. Most doctors agree that many kids with a fever don't need to take any special medicine unless their fevers are making them uncomfortable.If a kid has a higher fever and feels uncomfortable, the doctor might tell a parent to give the child medicine.  ????????All kids get a fever from time to time. A fever itself usually causes no harm and can actually be a good thing — it's often a sign that the body is fighting an infectionIf you're a parent, it's a scene that's all too familiar. You put your hand on your sick child's forehead and it feels warm. Then the thermometer confirms your suspicion: They've got a fever . But if you follow some simple rules you'll make them more comfortable and keep them safe.Fever is a defense against infection. Your child's body is raising its temperature to kill the germs. In most cases it's harmless and goes away on its own in 3 days.<h2>What You Should Do</h2>Acetaminophen(medicine) can lower your child's temperature.Another option is ibuprofen(medicine) if your child is at least 6 months old. There's a lot you can do to make them feel better. Put a cool compress on their head and keep their room at a moderate temperature -- not too hot and not too cold. Dress them in one layer of light clothing and offer a light blanket. You can also cool them off with a lukewarm溫?zé)岬?lt;/b> sponge bath. And don't forget -- make sure they drink a lot of fluids. 呼吸道疾病 Mom: I've got a cold,媽媽：我感冒了， so I won't have dinner with you at the dinner table.我不跟你們一塊在餐桌上吃晚飯了。 That way you and daddy won't be exposed to those pesky germs!這樣你和爸爸就不會(huì)接觸到那些討厭的病菌了！ Child: How do we get a cold anyway?寶寶：咱們是怎么得感冒的？ Mom: Well, the common cold is a kind of respiratory infection.媽媽：嗯，普通感冒是一種呼吸道感染。?
