   Does a fever show how serious a child's illness is?

   • The degree of fever may not show how serious your child's illness is. With a minor illness, such as a cold, a child may have an oral temperature of 40°C (104°F). But a very serious infection may not cause a fever or may cause only a mild fever. With many illnesses, a fever temperature can go up and down very quickly and often.
