Fever and shivering of child 5 yrs
My child is in fever today but started shivering after 10 hrs of fever . But now he is sleeping. It seems he is hiding and pretended to be well enough to avoid medicine.

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult.
Keep record of fever. Give fever medicine when its more than 100°F and if fever persists visit pediatrician.
