Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My kid is 29 months old. She is having high fever till 101 degrees Fahrenheit and running nose since afternoon today. Now she has fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. She also complained of shivering in the evening. She has not eaten anything. Given Meftal as of now.

Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand the situation you are facing. Your daughter most probably has a viral fever. Keep checking the temperature regularly like hourly or second hourly. You can continue Paracetamol every sixth hourly along with tepid sponging. You can give ORS (oral rehydration solution) and a soft diet. If becoming dull or lethargic or not eating anything or any new symptoms develop, better to get admitted.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
