Michael Bauer, M.D., medical director and pediatrician at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital, agrees. “Despite no official shortage of these medications, there are some local shortages of these medications reported by our clinicians and families seeking them,” he says. Dr. Fisher also notes this: “When we talk about adult doses, it’s not necessarily one-to-one with children’s medications.”Dr. Fisher stresses that, if your child has a fever, you don’t necessarily need to give them medication. “Fever is not a bad thing—it’s a good thing,” Dr. Fisher says. “It’s an adaptive way of the body getting rid of whatever germs it has.”
