Q.

hi.. my son (3.7yrs) was having a fever with high grade (nearly 104) for 3days. my pediatrician suggested for blood test on 3rd day as he was not taking any antibiotics till then and only p-250. blood test was normal. so they suggested antibiotics. it's been 2 doses now and he is getting fever(upto 101) when the time comes for next course (in 8hrs after medication). do I need to wait for the complete course of 3days of antibiotics or should I take him to hospital for further check up. please advise.

A. Hai good evening !! As blood tests were normal nothing to worry. Yes you need to wait until the completion of antibiotic course. Meanwhile give medication and also give more water,fluids semi solid foods like kichdi,java,porridges and do sponging (keep a wet cloth on forehead,baby back for 10-15 minutes again dip in water and squeeze continue to sponge to maintain normal temperature 98-99 along with medication.

A. what tests are conducted in blood test, ensure to conduct the dengue and malaria tests as well, if everything is normal, give your kid fluids more often and if the fever doesn't controlling try giving paracetamol for every 6 hours, of still not reducing take him to hospital at the earliest to be on safer side, don't take risks with kids as they are our valuable to us...
