FAQs
Q How do I deal with fever in children?
A In the “Guidelines for Infectious Disease Control in Nursery Schools (page 75)”, it is important to know the“ normal fever ”when each child is fine. The body temperature at the time of fever is only a guide, and it is determined individually according to the individual normal fever. "
In addition, the idea of normal fever plus 1 to 1.5 degrees or more is shown (Japan Clinical Emergency Medical Association, Japan Emergency Medical Association).
Handling of Statement of Opinion on Seasonal Influenza and COVID-19 Infectious Diseases (NEW March 2024)
