My 4-year-old boy has had a fever between 38.3 and 39.5 since 8 pm. There have been no cases of Covid around us. He's not eating much but he is drinking. Should I go to the clinic or to the emergency room?

Based on the symptoms you described, it may be best to monitor your child's fever for a bit longer before seeking medical attention. If their fever has been persistent for several days or if you have a gut feeling that something more serious may be going on, it would be best to consult with a medical professional. Trust your instincts as a parent and prioritize your child's health and well-being.
