Taking care of a feverish child:

A high temperature can be quite worrying for parents and carers, but most children recover with no problems after a few days.
Who can use this product:
It can be used by children between 6 months and 12 years old. If symptoms worsen or last for longer than 3 days ask your doctor for advice.
Fever is the body’s natural response to fighting infections.
Many things can cause a high temperature in children, from common childhood illnesses like chickenpox and tonsillitis, to vaccinations.
