Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

19. Should I Worry About a Fever?
Q: When should a child with a fever see a doctor?
A child under three months old with a fever, any child who is immunocompromised or unimmunized, or if the fever persists for more than four to five days should see a doctor.
19. Should I Worry About a Fever?
Q: What is the importance of immunization in the context of fevers?
Immunization reduces the likelihood of severe infections causing fever, allowing for a more measured approach in handling cases where vaccinations are up to date.
19. Should I Worry About a Fever?
Q: When should parents treat a fever?
Parents should treat a fever if their child is uncomfortable or unwell, but if the child is acting normally, it's okay to let the fever take its course as it helps fight infection.
19. Should I Worry About a Fever?
Q: What do you need to know about measuring a fever?
The gold standard for measuring a fever in children is a rectal thermometer, especially in infants under two years old. Oral thermometers are used for older children, and parents should avoid using forehead infrared thermometers as they are not accurate.
14. PCOS: More Than Missed Periods
Q: Hi, Docs. I'm Megan. I was recently told I might have PCOS, but my periods are regular. How is this possible?
This is more common than you think, as people with PCOS can have regular cycles but still meet other diagnostic criteria.
