Final Thoughts
from Science of Fever: Understanding Temperature Charts and the Body's Defense Mechanism

A fever temperature chart is a tool, not a replacement for professional medical advice. Empower yourself with knowledge, and use it to make informed decisions about your health and the health of your family.
