What is fever?

Fever is the body’s response to infection and is usually caused by a virus. The question is what is causing it; we examine children and adults to find the source and treat what needs treating.

Common symptoms

  • Chills, sweats and body aches
  • Fussiness, poor appetite or low energy
  • Other symptoms that point to the cause — sore throat, cough, ear pain, painful urination

How we treat it at AfterOurs

Full exam, rapid tests for strep, flu, COVID-19 and urine infection when indicated, fever-control guidance, and antibiotics only when a bacterial source is found.
