Fever in Children

You've said your child doesn't have a cough, runny nose, sore throat, or bad earache.

A urinary tract infection is another cause of fever.

Does your child have any of the following?

  • pain or burning with urination
  • a need to urinate more frequently than usual
  • a need to get to the bathroom immediately when he needs to urinate
  • back pain, or pain in the lower part of his belly.

Yes, my child has one or more of those.

No my child does not have any of those.
