Fever 101
As an ER Peds doc, fever is one of the symptoms that cause families to make an unplanned evening visit to the ER.
Why do the babies and kids have to pop a fever at night, why isn’t that fever breaking?
This guide will help you understand and calm your nerves; but also tell you when to head to your doctor or to the ER
Glad to have you here. I am Dr Nkeiru. I am board certified Pediatrician and public health physician who practices emergency medicine.
Working in the ER, I hear a lot of concerns from parents. Some make midnight visits for concerns that may have been cared for at home or by their PCP. As a mom who had older kids before I became a pediatrician, I learned a lot of things I did incorrectly. That is why I use several platforms to share resources for evidence-based health and parenting advice. These aim to not only help them with parenting but also prevent unnecessary ER visits.
