Elizabeth I is considered one of the greatest queens to have ever reigned, and the Tudor Monarch was a fierce lady who knew what she wanted. She was strong willed, and many people would think twice about crossing her, but early into her reign she suffered from a bout of a very deadly illness that had been around in England for some time. Smallpox over the years killed millions around the globe, but it even affected the English throne as Elizabeth I believed at one point she would succumb to the deadly disease. But this plunged England into crisis as at the time there were no plans drawn up for her successor. Elizabeth did eventually recover, but she was haunted and reminded of her battle with smallpox every single day. But what is the story of the deadly disease that almost killed Elizabeth I?

Elizabeth I’s bout of near fatal illness of 1562 exposed how vulnerable England was with a female monarch who did not have any children or heirs. This left the country vulnerable to attack and invasion, and for a brief two week period where the Queen was suffering, the governance of the country was shaky and tenuous.

Queen Elizabeth’s doctors expressed concern for her health on Thursday, recommending in a statement that she “remain under medical supervision.” The statement from the palace uses language that differs from their normal communications about the 96-year-old monarch’s health. NBC’s Molly Hunter reports for TODAY.

Why children get fevers, and when to call the doctor. https://www.chop.edu/locations

In This Video:
0:26 What is a fever?
0:43 Why do you get a fever?
1:26 Why does a fever make you feel bad?
2:14 Is a fever dangerous?
2:36 What to do when a child has a fever

A fever is a temperature greater than or equal to 100.4ºF or 38ºC. Fever in children is very common. Fever is a normal body response that helps the body fight infections.

The information in this video is for otherwise healthy children older than 3 months. If your child is younger than 3 months, or has a health problem that makes infection more likely, always call you doctor for advice when your child has a fever.

Your child’s temperature is not the most important thing to monitor when your child has a fever. Most of the time you won’t even need to take your child’s temperature. Instead, pay attention to the symptoms your child is experiencing along with the fever.

These are normal symptoms: faster heart rate and breathing; shivering; cold hands and feet; head and body aches; tired and fussy; poor appetite. You don’t necessarily need to call the doctor if your child has these symptoms.

These are abnormal symptoms: extremely sleepy or irritable; trouble breathing; rashes; pain, redness or swelling in one area (like a sore throat or a red, swollen knee); drinking very little or not at all; severely decreased urination; fever lasting longer than 3 days; seizure. You should call the doctor if your child has any of these symptoms, or if your instincts are telling you something isn’t right.

Parents worry that a high fever will cause seizures or brain damage. A high temperature will not cause brain damage, and seizures due to fever are rare.
