Fevers are one of the most common reasons for pediatric visits, but also one of the most misunderstood parts of the healing process!
Most parents are taught to immediately lower a fever with medication. However, research and clinical experience show that moderate fevers actually play a critical role in supporting the immune system! In many cases, bringing a fever down is like fighting for the wrong team!
A fever is not the body “losing control” — it’s the nervous system actively coordinating an immune response.
- It slows down the growth of viruses and bacteria.
- It accelerates the production and effectiveness of immune cells.
- It helps the body recover more quickly and efficiently when supported properly.
Watch this informative video from Dr. Andrew to fully understand the science behind how fevers can help you make informed, confident decisions when your child gets sick… AND help build a stronger, more resilient immune system over time.
