High fever 2 year old boy
Hi my baby has 2 years old. His weight is 11.5 kg.He has got fever since yesterday afternoon without any other symptoms. No cough cold . And I gave him calpol 250 3 ml .
But medicine effective till 3 hour hardly. And again body temperature rise till 102_103F
So what should I do in this case if medicine not effective . And still fever not settled down. He is taking adequate sleep. Taking food and started playing when temperature got normal. But after 2-3 hours his face become red his thigh bcomes too warm. And I gave him cold compression and medicine too. But medicine not too effective .
So I m worried how much does should I give her in a aday and for how many days.
Although your history is suggesting a viral febrile episode but Only high grade fever without vomiting or rash or cough or abnormal urine and stool needs evaluation regarding its etiology...Pls attend a clinic for physical examination and investigations if required. e.g Dengue is also a virus but needs clinical and hematological monitoring. Hope this helps.
