An infant's first fever is enough to cause any parent to worry. If allowed to climb to dangerous temperatures, fevers themselves can cause seizures and other health problems. Before attempting to treat a fever at home, verify that home treatment is safe. Infants with extremely high or persistent fevers may need emergency medical attention. For moderate fevers, however, focus on cooling your infant down and keeping him or her hydrated and rested. | An infant's first fever is enough to cause any parent to worry.
