High fever 8-10 hrly due to cough cold
My 3 yr old daughter is having severe coughing with high fever that comes 8 hrly after giving paracetamol 3.5ml this happened after a relative child visited with same symptoms. Now I'm very worried that it's been 3 -4days her fever is the same 101-102 untill paracetamol given and comes back after 8-10 hrs. She is very active bit denies food. Is this fever really related to viral inf. or should I go for dengue malaria igg tests?
