Constant fever at 101.7
Hello, my daughter is 4.8 yrs old, weight 19.6 kgs. She has had fever from last evening. Goes upto 102. With p250 6 ml it reduces abd then comes back up after 2 hrs and I can't give her another dose so I wait it out while it touches 101.7 again. Today I gave her a dose at 5am and her gene continued to 102.i gave her the next dose at 1030 am. It's come down to 101.5 after 2 hrs but not going down beyond that. Doctor advised to wait for 2 days before blood tests and give meftalp after 2 hrs of p250 if it doesnt go down. Can meftalp be given every 6 hrs for a couple of days. There are no other symptoms except she's a Lil gassy and pooped hard. Please advise if this could be dengue or something or I can wait a couple of days. I'm worried. Thank you.

If fever do not subside you can go for tap water sponging. Keep your child hydrated. Give as much as she can drink. Add more fruits in diet
