For how many days ur daughter is having fever. If your daughter becomes active once the fever subsides then no need to worry, U can wait & watch . The fever usually takes 3-5 days to subside. Look for danger signs like poor urination, continuous high grade fever, lethargic etc

Dear Parent,
A fever of 103°F in a 1-year-old child requires careful attention. Here’s what you need to know:
Immediate Actions:
1. Continue Crocin (Paracetamol):**
- Dose: 15 mg/kg every 4-6 hours (max 4 doses in 24 hours).
- If fever doesn’t subside within 1 hour of a dose, you may give **alternate fever medication** (like ibuprofen, if age-appropriate) after consulting a doctor.
2. Monitor Symptoms:*
- Keep the child hydrated (breast milk/formula/ORS).
- Use lukewarm sponging if fever remains >102°F despite medication.
- Watch for **red flags**: lethargy, rash, difficulty breathing, seizures, or refusal to feed.
When to Seek Medical Advice Immediately:
- Fever >102°F persists beyond **48 hours**.
- Fever returns after 24 hours of being normal.
- Child appears irritable, unusually sleepy, or has a stiff neck.
- Any signs of dehydration (dry mouth, no tears, sunken eyes).
Next Steps:
- Consult a pediatrician today if fever persists or if the child seems unwell. Tests like CBC or urine culture may be needed.
- Avoid delaying care if the child is under 3 months old (fever in newborns is an emergency).

Please consult a Paediatrician in your area for a physical examination and further management. Tele-consultation is not the best form of consultation for a one year old child.
