High Fever
Hi Sir/Madam,
My son is 1 year old, he's suffering from high fever since 2 days. We gave paracetamol baby drops for every 6 hrs but still it didn't reduce the temperature. Kindly suggestion any other medicine? Due to Covid I am afraid to take him to hospital.

Hello good evening , hope your baby recover soon . Fever is symptom which shows that there infection in body may be viral or bacterial . so it’s very important to keep chart of temperature and monitor it . Checking temperature with thermometer will give you exact temperature reading which will help u to understand how much is the intensity of temperature so that you can give medicine and do the tepid sponging also . Giving medicine as per weight of child is also very important to reduce the temperature . Sometimes fever doesn’t come down if it’s bacterial infection which need further investigation . I recommend you to have online consultation with your Peditrician for more guidance .
Next Steps
Keep temperature chart , record temperature every four -six hourly , watch for urine out put , tepid sponging , give plenty of fluids to drink like water , mothers milk , fruits veg soup
Health Tips
