When your baby feels a bit warmer than usual, it’s natural to worry. But most fevers aren’t something to panic about.
A fever can feel worrying, but it’s usually a sign that your baby’s body is working just as it should to fight off infection. Remember, a fever isn’t an illness on its own. When your tot’s temperature rises, it usually means their immune system has sprung into action and is sending out white blood cells to fight off and destroy invading bacteria and viruses.
Your baby’s temperature can rise for all sorts of harmless reasons. Most of the time, it’s down to common bugs like colds, flu, or ear infections. Sometimes it happens after the administration of a vaccine or simply from being a bit too warm from hot weather or too much clothing. Teething can also make babies feel slightly hotter than usual.
Of course, when your little one feels uncomfortable, all you want is to help them feel better, quickly and safely.
