Fever is one of the most common reasons parents in Sargodha look for a peads / child specialist. In Pakistan’s summer heat and monsoon season, viral infections rise — and it is normal to feel worried when your child feels hot, weak, or refuses food.
What counts as fever?
For most children, a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher is considered a fever. Use a reliable thermometer (under-arm or digital). Touching the forehead alone is not enough.
Home care tips (Pakistan context)
- Keep the child lightly dressed — avoid heavy blankets in Sargodha heat.
- Offer frequent ORS, water, or milk (age-appropriate) to prevent dehydration.
- Use paracetamol only as advised by a doctor for the child’s weight.
- Watch for poor drinking, dry lips, fewer wet nappies, or unusual sleepiness.
See a peads doctor the same day if
- Baby is under 3 months with any fever
- Fever lasts more than 48–72 hours
- Breathing is fast, noisy, or difficult
- Rash, neck stiffness, repeated vomiting, or seizures
- Your child looks unusually dull or does not wake easily
