It’s January and all the children are back in school. And that means it’s a chance to swap viruses and herald in the new year with fevers!
This month’s episode has the answers to your questions as child health professionals on this burning problem. Should you worry about the height of the fever? Should you give antipyretics? How do you reassure parents and carers that fevers are part of everyday life?
All of these issues are discussed, along with a passionate plea to make hand washing great again. So don’t get hot under the collar, listen to The Paeds Round as we take time out to chat to special guest, Dr Alasdair Munro, senior clinical research fellow in paediatric infectious diseases at the University of Southampton (https://alasdairmunro.substack.com/about and https://twitter.com/apsmunro).
With your hosts, Dr Emma Lim and Dr Christo Tsilifis.
