Fever in children

Fever in children often has the same causes as fever in adults: it is usually an infection with viruses, bacteria or other pathogens.

But children are fevering faster than adults and they are called fever from 38 ° C. Many classic teething problems run with fever. If the fever-causing illness disappears or is treated, the fever usually disappears again. These are special fever conditions in children "Dreitagefieber" and the febrile seizure. Dangerous illnesses (e.g. meningitis) that need faster therapy can also be behind high temperatures. Therefore: Always keep a close eye on fever in children and have the doctor clarify quickly in the event of any abnormalities!
