No fever but body is hot
My son is 4 years old last 2 days his temperature was 100 and was doing loose potty which he has gone only 2-3 times so I give paracetamol and econorm only one time because it's not required as fever got repeated after 24 hours and from yesterday evening his body is hot but temperature is from 98.6 to 99.6
He is active and eating properly even when temperature was 100 he was very active.
Why his body is hot do I give him paracetamol?
Answers (3)
It could still be a viral fever
Give him paracetamol at 15 mg/ kg / dose of temperature is more than 100.4 F
Otherwise tepid sponging is enough.
Keep him hydrated - ask him to drink ors or electral as much as he can.
Next Steps
if he doesn't drink ors - give him rice water kanjee,lemon water with salt and sugar, salted buttermilk
Health Tips
report if there are warning signs like lethargy, persistent vomiting, consultation is better.
