Prolonged fever
My kid got fever cold cough on Wednesday evening. Till now the fever has not reduced. That is it's getting reduced if we give ibugesic plus. But it's not reduced if we give p250. Her weight is 14kg. We are doing sponging but she is fussy and sleepy. Can we give p250 or ibugesic. Doctor said to give p250 for 3 days more. But it's not reducing fever. How much ml p250 to give? Does it cause side effects as this 4th day we are giving

Does the child has any other complaints like redness of tongue or redness of eyes…How’s the child in between fever spikes, I mean when the fever spike reduces..whether she’ll be calm or irritable when afebrile??If the fever duration has crossed beyond 3 day, it’s better to get done the investigation CBC,CRP,ESR…You can give P250 4-4.5ml every 6th hourly….Don’t use Ibugesic without knowing platelet count
