Regarding fever and cold

2023-10-27 13:24:19
My daughter caught cold on Monday with armpit temperature around 98 to 98.2 for 3days until thursday along with mild cough. From today morning temperature goes upto 101.5 in armpit. It's been 4hrs since I have given P250 4ml.  Can we give Meftal now? Pls suggest the dose? Age: 5 Weight: 13.6kg. Also pls let us the know the first 3days with temperature 98.2 is considered fever? Or we need to consider today as first day of fever? Can we start antibiotics?

No it is not considered as fever, temp more than 99.5°F(100°F) is considered as fever. And also according to childs weight the dose is not sufficient, kindly use 5ml of p250. You can use paracetamol and meftal if he is having any pain with fever
Next Steps
can start antibiotics if it continues even after tomorrow
