High Temperature in Children
A high temperature is very common in young children. The temperature usually returns to normal within 3 or 4 days.
A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C, but this can vary slightly from child to child.
A high temperature is 38C or more.
A high temperature is the body’s natural response to fighting infections like coughs and colds.
Many things can cause a high temperature in children, from common childhood illnesses like chickenpox and tonsillitis, to vaccinations.
Your child might:
feel hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest
feel sweaty
look or feel unwell
Use a digital thermometer, which you can buy from pharmacies and supermarkets, to take your child’s temperature.
You can usually look after your child or baby at home. The temperature should go down over 3 or 4 days.

talk to a doctor before use.

reactions which could possibly be delayed.
