Medically Speaking

Don’t get fever phobia! It’s hard to see your child suffer through a fever, and it can be difficult to determine whether your child requires a doctor’s visit, or even a trip to the emergency room.

"Temperature Tantrum" features an interview with pediatrician Karen Kennedy, MD, who shares tips on the best way to take and treat a child's temperature, and what to do when a fever spikes.
