Fever

Fever 
(also known as pyrexia or controlled hyperthermia) is when a human's body temperature goes above the normal range of 36-37C - it is a common medical sign.
People's normal body temperatures may vary and are affected by factors such as eating, exercise, sleeping and what time of the day it is.
An elevated body temperature (fever) is one of the ways our immune system attempts to combat an infection. Usually, the rise in body temperature helps the individual resolve an infection. However, sometimes it may rise too high, in which case the fever can be serious and lead to complications.
Children with a high temperature may develop a febrile seizure, also known as a febrile fit or febrile convulsion, most of which are not serious and may be the result of an ear infection, gastroenteritis, or a respiratory virus (a cold). Less commonly, febrile seizures may be caused by something more serious, such as meningitis, a kidney infection or pneumonia.

Your child is human too

“So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.” https://www.mother.ly/child/your-child-is-human-too
