Dengue for 3.8 years old kid
My son has had a fever for the past 5 days. The fever at the initial stage was slowly reaching 101 and the recurrence became 4hours. Slowly the fever was between 99 to 100.5 and the recurrence became 6hours now on the 5th day.
Now today when I took the test for dengue IgM was positive with platelets 1.35lakhs and PCV 39.8.
In the initial stage a pediatrician gave Ziprax 100 as an antibiotic but today another pediatrician changed the antibiotic to zifi.
My kid is active but the fever keeps on recurring.
