I wanted to check regarding my 9-month-old baby boy.
He has been having fever for the past 2 days (since March 31), ranging from 99°F to 101.3°F, coming every 5–6 hours. We have started ibuprofen and antibiotics as advised.
Earlier on March 10, he had a similar episode where his WBC was 24,000 and CRP was 41.9. He was admitted, treated, and after 2 days his WBC reduced to 14,000 and CRP to 14.8, so he was discharged with medicines.
Now again, his reports show WBC 15,000 and CRP 21.6.
Currently, he is active, feeding well, and has no other symptoms like cough, cold, vomiting, or loose motions.
We are concerned about why this is repeating. Could it be an incomplete or new infection? Do we need further tests?
Also, should we admit him again or continue treatment at home?
Kindly guide us.
Thank you.
Hello Doctor,
My child (6 years old) is having chickenpox. Today is the 5th day.
Symptoms:
- Fever, especially at night
- Multiple blisters all over the body and face
- Some blisters appear to have pus
- Child is active at times in the morning, but becomes dull during fever
- Right eyelid is reddish and slightly swollen
We are currently giving Levocet syrup at night for itching. We are also giving coconut water and fruits as per the child’s preference.
Kindly advise:
1. Is this a normal stage or a sign of infection?
2. Do we need any antibiotic ointment or medicine?
3. What care should we follow at this stage?
I am also attaching photos for your reference.
Thank you.

Hi doctor,
My son is 8 years old. I put all the vaccines as per the schedule. Now my doubt is somewhere I got the information as we should always put tetanus every 3 years to avoid from any wound infection. Is that so?
Do I need to put him tetanus again? I have attached his vaccine card. Please advice.
Thank you.
