At Yago School Málaga, the health and wellbeing of our students are a fundamental part of our commitment to families. That is why, through our School Nursing Department, we want to share useful information and practical advice to help care for children both at home and at school.
This time, we are focusing on a very common childhood concern: fever in children.
Although a fever can often be worrying for parents, it is important to remember that it is not an illness in itself, but rather a natural response of the body to certain infections. In most cases, it is part of the body’s defence mechanism.
Why Knowing How to Respond Matters
When a child has a fever, we should pay attention not only to the temperature shown on the thermometer, but also to their overall condition, behaviour and any accompanying symptoms.
Understanding what to do when a child has a fever and how to recognise the warning signs helps families manage these situations with greater confidence and know when to seek medical advice.
For this reason, our School Nursing Department, in collaboration with RedVital Salud, is sharing an infographic with simple recommendations on caring for children with a fever, measures that can be taken at home and the warning signs to look out for.
Caring for Our Students, In and Out of the Classroom
At Yago School Málaga, we believe that education and wellbeing go hand in hand. Our school nursing service is an essential part of the daily care and support we provide to our students, helping to create a safe and healthy learning environment.
Through initiatives like this, we aim to continue providing families with clear, accessible health information, promoting prevention and children’s health and wellbeing.
We invite you to explore the infographic accompanying this article, where you will find key recommendations on what to do when your child has a fever.
