Giving her earlier prescribed medicine (pcm nad meftal P). Paracetamol does not work that much, but meftal P helps to reduce fever. I want your help what could be the reason she is getting frequent fevers. Nor i or my husband have any cold cough or fever.

Kids get frequent fevers sometimes as their immunity is less. This episode is difficult to correlate with earlier episode unless some tests were done and they showed a problem. Is she active? If active, continue same treatment. Fever may subside by 3rd day. We can do tests if it persists. Consult a pediatrician if fever persists or other problems occur
