My infant grandson was running a fever. But he was also playful, eating, laughing, and though clearly ill, was not acting ill. I watch for the personality of the sick individual. Someone can have no or a low-grade fever and be quite ill. Fever is not an illness. It is the body’s way of fighting OFF an illness. Only when it gets so high that the person is in danger of dehydration and seizure, is it problematic. That’s why we want to bring it down.
