 - Fever in children, body temperature
38°C, 39°C, 40°C… seeing your child's temperature rise is a fear that all parents share.

Because many parents are unsure and worried when faced with this natural phenomenon, we've put together a series of recommendations to help you know how to react when the thermometer creeps up and when your child experiences convulsions.


Many thanks to pediatrician Dr Grandsenne for his contribution.
