#asktheexperts Hello doctor, My 1 year old daughter has been suffering from fever in night time only last few days. what are the reasons and solutions for that?

A. Why it's worse at night: Body temperature rises naturally in the evening, so a fever that was slight during the day can easily spike during sleep. What to do: First, take your child's temperature (do it rectally if she's under 6 months old -- and, ideally, for as long as she'll allow this method).
