A recent literature review has shown that fever and pain in your child could be a significant source of anxiety for you. This, in turn, may lead to increased anxiety for your child and an increased perception of pain, which may make treatment more difficult.
By reducing your own anxiety, your child’s anxiety may also be reduced, which in turn, can aid in the recovery process. The more facts you know about a fever, the more calm you may be when comforting your sick child.
