CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE Presented by the TexCare 60 Second Radio Feature    MP3 "Kids and Fever" FOR AIR WEEK OF November 26, 2001 What should you do if your child has a fever? Hi, I’m Dr. John Hellerstedt, and this CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented by the TexCare . . a Texas initiative to provide children’s health insurance for only $18 a month or less to most families. It’s known that fever can help fight infections by stimulating the body’s natural defenses. But, since fever points to an underlying illness, finding its cause is a priority. Here are some guidelines if your child has a fever. Call your doctor immediately if your child is less than four months of age, acts sicker than you have come to expect, or is still feverish after 48 hours. Any fever higher than 104 degrees is reason enough to call your doctor. This CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented by the TexCare - - - Reminding you that no child should be without health insurance. Call 1-800-647-6558 to apply for children’s health insurance that for most families is $18 a month or less. And join me next time for the CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE.
