What patients should realistically expect
Most fevers are viral
Self-limiting in 3–5 days; hydration matters more than antibiotics.
Growth is a trend
A single measurement matters less than the trajectory.
We deliberately avoid success-rate claims. Outcomes vary — your doctor will give you a personalised view.

Patient FAQs
Frequently asked questions
When should I worry about my child's fever?+
Persistent fever above 102°F for more than 48 hours, or any fever in an infant under 3 months, deserves a same-day visit.
Are vaccines on schedule still safe?+
Yes — the IAP schedule is well-tested. Talk to your pediatrician about any catch-ups.
