It is very common for children to experience elevated temperatures following treatment.  Be assured that you child does not have an infection.  The elevated temperature is the way a child’s body reacts to physical stress.  Be sure your child drinks plenty of fluids and use Children’s Motrin or Children’s Tylenol, as recommended by the manufacturer or by your pediatrician, as needed.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call the office.

The above information has been reviewed and explained to me, all of my questions have been answered, and I have been given a copy of these instructions.
