Urine Ketones (Acetone)
Hi All, my son has been suffering from fever for the last 4 days. Shown to a pediatrician but fever was not reduced. Took blood and urine test. The doctor told me just to give good food and no other medications provided.
I am still nervous by seeing the report as there are so many issues in the blood and urine Ketones. I'm so worried. Someone please clarify for me.
Thanks,
Sathya
