When you aren’t feeling well, you might take your temperature…  but that readout won’t tell you what you really want to know. You’re wondering:

  • Is this serious?
  • What should I do?
  • Should I call the doctor?
  • How much work/school/life are we about to miss?
  • Who’s going to get it next?

While a simple thermometer can’t give you all those answers, Kinsa can. Guidance and care recommendations are built into Kinsa’s free app, offering advice based on your age, fever, symptoms and the illnesses circulating in your area.

Want to access Kinsa’s advice outside of the app?

Kinsa’s own nurse (and supermom) Blake and our rockstar pediatrician Dr. Alison have compiled some helpful tips below.

Kinsa’s app, email, alert and website content are carefully reviewed to ensure they adhere to guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Meet our guidance team:
