🌡️ Kids and Fever: What to Look For and How to Help

Fever can be worrying for any parent, but it is often a sign that your child’s body is fighting an infection. As we head into the warmer months and kids stay active, it is important to know when to watch, when to comfort, and when to get help.

🧡 Common signs of fever:
• A temperature over 38°C (oral) or over 37.5°C (ear)
• Flushed cheeks
• Irritability or crying
• Poor appetite
• Feeling tired or wanting extra sleep

💧 How to care for your child at home:
• Keep them hydrated with plenty of fluids
• Dress them in lightweight clothing
• Let them rest as much as needed
• Use a lukewarm bath to cool them gently
• Comfort them and monitor how they are feeling

Remember, you do not always need to treat a fever if your child is comfortable. Focus on how they are behaving rather than the number on the thermometer.

🚨 Seek medical advice if:
• Your child is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
• They have difficulty breathing
• They are unusually drowsy or unresponsive
• Fever lasts more than one day in children under 2
• Fever lasts more than three days in older children
• They develop a rash or have ongoing vomiting or diarrhoea

📍 We are here to help!

If you are unsure how to manage your child’s fever or need advice on suitable products, visit your local pharmacy. Our team can guide you through what is safe, what is effective, and when to seek further care.

Your health. Your family. Your community pharmacy. 💙

💧 Thirst Aid 💧

Did you know that every day we lose fluids and electrolytes that water alone can’t replace? That’s why HydraLyte is formulated to rehydrate you faster and more effectively than water on its own.

The secret? The LyteRH formula. It contains the precise balance of:
✔️ Water
✔️ Essential electrolytes
✔️ A dash of glucose

Yes, glucose! Not for sweetness, but because the exact glucose-to-electrolyte ratio helps your body absorb fluids quicker. Unlike sports drinks, HydraLyte uses only the optimal amount of sugar, not a gram more.

📍 Available now at your local pharmacy. Stay hydrated the smart way!

💧 What Exactly Is Dehydration? 💧

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluids than it takes in, and it’s more common than you might think.

Mild to moderate dehydration is defined as losing 2–6% of your body weight through fluids.

😮 Did you know?
Up to 75% of people are dehydrated every day simply from losing water and electrolytes through sweat, saliva, urine, and normal body processes.
And because water alone doesn’t contain electrolytes, it often isn’t enough to fully rehydrate you.

Common Causes of Dehydration:

🏃 Exercise
Sweat = electrolyte loss. This can reduce performance and lead to muscle cramps.

✈️ Travel
Dry airplane air, hotter climates, busy days, and more alcohol can all deplete fluids.

🍷 Alcohol
Alcohol acts as a diuretic, increasing fluid loss and contributing to hangover symptoms.

🔥 Excessive Heat
Hot weather means more sweating — and more fluid and electrolyte loss.

🤒 Fever
A raised body temperature leads to increased perspiration and reduced hydration levels.

🤢 Vomiting & Diarrhoea
Stomach bugs and food poisoning can cause rapid, dangerous fluid and electrolyte loss.

💬 Stay ahead of dehydration by recognising the signs and replenishing both fluids AND electrolytes.

Talk to your local pharmacy team about effective rehydration options that work faster than water alone.
