Baby high fever 103.3 under arm
My baby is 1 year 10 months old. For the past two days, he has had a high fever. Yesterday, we went to the clinic and gave him medicine, but throughout the night, his fever remained around 102.6°F (underarm).
Today, we also went to the clinic, did a blood test, but the fever is now around 103.3°F (underarm). He is sleeping more than usual and the fever is not coming down with medicine.
Currently, we are giving the following medicines:
Cefpodixime oral suspension IP 50 mg, 3 ml
Levotaz M syrup, 3 ml at night
JV Smiley DX, 3 ml three times a day
Ace Plus, 4 ml for fever
The doctor says it’s okay and there’s nothing more to do, but I am concerned.
