A. I'm sorry your child isn't feeling well. Please make sure he's staying hydrated; even if he refuses food and milk, try to get him to drink water or a rehydration solution. Fever in children is common and usually self-resolving within a few days, but as your child's condition is not improving, it's essential to get medical attention. If your child is lethargic, has signs of dehydration (like dry lips, not passing urine for more than 8-12 hours), if he is breathless, has a rash, or if you're worried about him for any reason, seek immediate medical attention. Due to the persistence of the fever and change in behavior, I would strongly recommend that you promptly schedule an appointment with your child's pediatrician or take them into an urgent care clinic. Remember, while I can provide some information and suggestions, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for any health concerns.
