Mom of a 6 yr 2 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

Hi my dear mom n doctors, My daughter is suffering from fever since 5 days, we’ve been to the doctor couple of days back and she’s been diagnosed for Typhoid, malaria, dengue, urine tests and all the tests came back normal. She’s been prescribed calpol, mefenamic acid and amoxycyllin. Now she has a very high temperature 103c and we are really worried. Please suggest if she needs any immediate medical attention.

A. Fever is a response of the body to any kind of infection or any inflammatory process in body so you can give paracetamol in a dose of 15 mg/kg/dose as the first line treatment also this dose can be again repvfeated after every 5 to 6 hours if fever is repeating. and you can also do cold sponging of the body if required
