Hello,
First of all fever is just a symptom, not a disease-it’s body’s natural defence response
And mild fever is usually viral in origin and only requires supportive treatment
Make sure the temperature is measured accurately
Use digital thermometer, place it in the axilla of the child till it beeps.
If fever lasts more than a week visit nearest Pediatrician for further workup
Next Steps
Syp PCT 250mg/5ml, give 4ml 6th hourly (considering approx weight of the child is 11-12kg)
Tepid sponging (avoid cold water/alcohol)
Adequate hydration and nutrition, proper rest
Health Tips
Watch for danger signs:
Lethargy, irritability
Poor feeding
Fast breathing and chest indrawing
Seizures
Rash
Pale limb
Ear discharge
Persistent vomiting, headache
Reduced urine output
