Facts:

• Fever helps fight infections
• Viral fevers are usually harmless
• Behavior matters more than temperature
• High fever (above 104°F) may need attention
• Antipyretics (like paracetamol) help comfort, not cure
• Not all fevers need medicine

Conclusion: Fever alone is not dangerous in most children. If your child is active, eating, and hydrated, mild fever is usually self-resolving. Consult a doctor if the child looks very sick, has seizures, or the fever persists for more than 3 days.
