When your child has a fever, it is a sign that their immune system is fighting off an infection. Reducing the fever can relieve discomfort and allow for re-evaluation of symptoms. Visit the ER or see your paediatrician if your child’s high fever is accompanied by difficulty breathing, unresponsiveness, dry lips or sunken eyes, excess vomiting or dehydration.

If your child has a high fever, contact us immediately for professional care.

As we approach the December holidays, it's crucial to be vigilant about water safety to prevent drowning incidents, which are sadly more prevalent during this time in South Africa. Here are some essential tips to keep your children safe:

1. Supervision: Always keep a close eye on children when they are near water. Never leave them unattended, even for a moment.
2. Swimming Lessons: Enrol your children in swimming lessons to ensure they are confident and capable in the water.
3. Safety Barriers: Install barriers around pools and ensure gates are self-closing and self-latching.
4. Life Jackets: Ensure children wear life jackets when around open water, such as lakes or the ocean.
5. Learn CPR: Knowing CPR can save a life. Take a course to be prepared in case of an emergency.

If you find your child or baby in a water source:
1. Remove Them from the Water: Immediately and safely remove the child from the water.
2. Check for Breathing: If the child is not breathing, begin CPR immediately and call emergency services.
3. Seek Medical Attention: Even if the child seems fine, seek medical attention as complications can arise later.

Septic shock is a severe and life-threatening response to infection, leading to organ dysfunction and potentially dangerously low blood pressure. Prompt treatment is vital to improve outcomes. For every 1-hour delay in the treatment of sepsis, there is a 7.6% increase in mortality. As a specialist in Paediatric Critical Care, I am committed to educating caregivers about the signs of sepsis.

Stay informed and vigilant. If your child shows symptoms of severe infection, seek emergency care without delay.
