What Role do Parents and Caregivers Play in Temperature Control?
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in monitoring and managing their child's temperature. They should be educated on how to accurately measure temperature, recognize signs of fever or hypothermia, and administer medications correctly. They should also know when to seek medical attention, such as if the child has a high fever that doesn't respond to medication, exhibits signs of dehydration, or has a fever lasting more than a few days.
