Clute Municipal Park is home to the Great Texas Mosquito Festival, one of the city’s longstanding community events. After a long family day, it can be easy to explain a tired child as simply worn out. A fever changes the picture when that child becomes unusually drowsy, is difficult to wake, stops drinking normally, or begins breathing differently.
With fever, the number on the thermometer is only part of what matters. How a child looks, responds, drinks, and breathes can tell us just as much about how sick they may be. Angleton ER can evaluate the child and determine whether lab testing, imaging, fluids, medication, monitoring, or other care is medically appropriate.
If symptoms are life-threatening or it is not safe to drive, call 911.
