Log every dose you give so everyone caring for your child can see what was given and when.
You don't need an account to log doses.
Log a dose
- Open your child and tap Medication in the bar at the bottom of the Activities tab.
If you don't see it, tap More.
- Tap Choose medication and pick one.
Your medications lists the ones saved on your account, and Suggested lists common ones.
You can also search by brand or active ingredient.
- Check the Dose.
If you saved a default amount for this medication, it's filled in for you.
Change it to the amount you gave.
- Check the date and time.
They start at now, so change them if you gave the dose earlier.
- Add a Note if you like, for example "spat some out".
- Tap Save.
Under the medication you may see chips such as Every 6 h or the ages it's meant for.
They come from the medication's details and are for your information only.
Always follow the label and your pediatrician's advice.
Scan the barcode
Instead of searching, tap Scan barcode next to the medication and point the camera at the barcode on the box.
If Fever Whiz knows the product, it's selected for you.
You need to be signed in to scan.
Add your own medication
If you can't find a medication, add it:
- Tap Choose medication, then tap Add Medication.
- Enter the Name.
This is the only required field.
- Fill in anything else you know, such as Active Ingredient, Form, Concentration (mg), Interval (hours) or Take With Food.
- Tap Save.
The medication is saved to your account and appears under Your medications next time.
Log the same dose for more than one child
If you have more than one child, turn on With other children? and pick the others.
The same medication and dose is logged for each child you pick.
If their doses are different, log each child separately.
Change or remove the medication on a dose
On the dose form, tap the medication to pick a different one.
Tap the pencil icon next to it to change its details, or the x icon to remove it.
Troubleshooting
- "Please choose a medication first.": Tap Choose medication and pick one before saving.
- "We don't recognize that barcode yet. Choose the medication manually.": The product isn't in our list yet.
Search for it, or add it with Add Medication.
- "No matches. Tap below to add it.": Try the brand name or the active ingredient, or add it with Add Medication.
- Fever Whiz asks me to sign in when I tap Scan barcode: Scanning needs an account.
Sign in, or search for the medication instead.
- Another caregiver can't see the dose: They see it once both phones are online and synced.
Check that they're on your team and have access to this child.
See How to invite another caregiver.
