What do you think?

❌ False

A fever after an injury can be a sign of infection or another complication. The NHS recommends seeking medical advice if a fever develops post-injury.

Who else has been obsessively following Punch's story this weekend?! Heart-breaking and heart-warming all at once!

If you're a parent of a little one, you probably know all about the comfort of a favourite toy or teddy 🧸 What does your little one carry around with them all the time, and do you live in fear of losing it?!

Oh, and p.s. when your little one needs a 'best friend' that will comfort them when they trip or fall - grab yourself a Mini First Aid Teddy! 😉

Is it just a sore throat…or something more? 👅

Sore throats are very common in children, especially during cold and flu season which is right now!

Most sore throats are caused by viruses and will get better on their own with rest, fluids and appropriate pain relief. A viral sore throat often comes with a runny nose, cough or other cold symptoms, and antibiotics won’t help.

Sometimes, though, a sore throat may be:

Tonsillitis, which is an inflammation of the tonsils. Your child may have a very sore throat, red or swollen tonsils, pain when swallowing, a fever, earache and just feel generally very poorly.

In more severe cases, you might see pus-filled spots or white patches on the tonsils, and/or swollen glands in the neck.

Tonsillitis is usually viral and will get better on its own but can sometimes be bacterial and require antibiotics. To help treat the symptoms, ensure your child gets plenty of rest, age-appropriate medication and cool drinks to soothe the throat.

It could also be Strep A which is a common type of bacteria which can cause a range of flu-like symptoms, such as high temperature, swollen glands or an aching body, as well as a sore throat. It can also cause a rash or scabs or painful, hot and swollen areas of skin.

Most Strep A infections are not serious and will get better on their own.

If you’re unsure, or if your child has any of the following symptoms, contact NHS 111 or your GP for advice.

- Severe or worsening symptoms that last more that 5-6 days
- Difficulty swallowing or drooling
- A high temperature that isn’t improving
- White patches or pus filled spots on the tonsils
- Signs they are becoming very unwell
- Your child is unable to eat or drink

As always, trust your instincts.

You know your child best 💚

🥞 Visits to the NHS website's advice on burns and scalds nearly DOUBLES on Pancake Day 😱

Making pancakes with your little ones can be super fun, but should also come with a warning about burns and scalds. It's so easy for you or your child to brush against a hot pan or griddle, or to put tiny hands on a hot pan handle.

If the worst happens and your child does get a burn, run the burn under cool or lukewarm running water for at least 20-minutes, remove any clothing or jewellery near the burn and call 111 or 999 if necessary.

After running under cool, running water, cover with cling-film or a sterile, non-fluffy dressing or cloth.

You can check out more advice on burns in our Stories today.

Stay safe and enjoy those pancakes!
