Three Day Fever
Posted by Alex
Three day fever is common among children aged three and below. It is usually contagious during the period of the disease and two to three days after, making outbreaks common in closed quarters. Incubation period is around 10 to 15 days from being exposed to someone infected with the symptoms. A child with three day fever usually runs a fever for several days while a rash covers his or her entire body.
If your child has three day fever, the best thing to do is wait for it to pass. In the meantime, undress the child to make sure that he or she isn’t feeling warm. Give the child medicine that will reduce the fever (like paracetamol) and control the temperature as much as possible. Also give him or her plenty of fluid to avoid dehydration.
