Many parents worry at the first sign of illness in a child and seek medical attention right away. Your instincts are correct to want to seek help, but you may not need to run to the doctor's office right away each time the sign of a fever or cold presents itself. A fever is one of the most common symptoms reported to doctors. A temperature of more than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit is considered a fever. A fever is the body's response to infection and implies a healthy immune response. It is important to realize that fever itself is not a disease, it is a sign of an underlying condition. The common cold is spread from person to person via airborne droplets containing the cold virus or via contaminated hands and or objects. A cold is most contagious from one day before to seven days after the onset of symptoms. A cold typically lasts for five to seven days in an adult and slightly longer for children. Unfortunately, young children get frequent colds and they often can overlap.
