When should I worry about my child's fever?
See a doctor if your baby is under 3 months with a temperature of 38°C or more, if fever lasts more than 3 days, or if your child is very drowsy, breathing fast, has a rash that doesn't fade when pressed, or isn't drinking. Most fevers are from viral infections, but a check rules out serious causes.

Questions parents ask
Does every fever need antibiotics?
No. Most childhood fevers are viral and get better without antibiotics. Dr. Zohaib only prescribes antibiotics when there is a bacterial infection.
Should I give a cold bath for fever?
No. Cold water can make a child shiver and feel worse. Light clothing, fluids and the right dose of fever medicine are safer.
Is typhoid common in children here?
Yes, typhoid is common in Pakistan, including drug-resistant strains. The typhoid vaccine (TCV) helps protect children.
