In general, a temperature higher than 38°C is considered a fever.
If your little one is sick and has a fever, it most likely means their body is fighting an infection. This is a normal response to illnesses like tonsillitis or chickenpox, because a higher body temperature makes it harder for bacteria and viruses to survive.
Sleep is crucial for your little one and plays an essential role in your child’s physical and mental wellbeing, being no less important than food and drink. Calpol Vapour Plug 3+ months 5 refill pads contains a blend of aromatic oils including lavender, chamomile, menthol, camphor and eucalyptus. Non-medicated aromatic aromas provide soothing night time comfort for your child.
