[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2607728, member: 9374"] [B]^^^^^THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!![/B] I spend a lot of time educating people that FEVER IS A [B]GOOD [/B]THING!!!! Fever means your body is working the way it should to fight infection. A lot of pediatricians these days are saying don't even [B]treat [/B]a fever until it becomes dangerous, which is like 106F. We don't treat fever because temp itself is dangerous (in most instances), we treat it because it makes us feel yucky. We're treating symptoms. Febrile seizures aren't usually even dangerous... unless they're repetitive and the kid isn't waking up in-between. Fever helps fight illness by making an inhospitable environment for bacteria and viruses, which slows their reproduction and spread. Fever helps our white blood cells fight infection by speeding up chemical reactions used to attack bacteria. When we use Tylenol or ibuprofen to bring down a fever, we're actually working [B]AGAINST [/B]our body's immune system! So many people rush right to the ER for every little thing, and subprep's right... 90% of it is not even a problem, much less an emergency. [/QUOTE]
