 [ Symptoms ] what can i expect during week 12 of my pregnancy [ Disease ] if a child has a documented fever do not promote more heating by piling on blankets instead use a cool washcloth to the forehead or back of the neck however do not overdo that either you do not want your child to become so cool he or she is shivering not all fevers need to be treated sometimes they will get better on their own a fever over 103 degrees fahrenheit in a toddler deserves medical attention according to the american academy of pediatrics i hope your little one feels better soon
