Has Fever Despite Ibuprofen And Paracetamol. Monocytes High. What Is Wrong?
My 13 month old has had a fever more than 39 for 10 hours despite ibuprofen and paracetamol . She is flat. We took her to the hospital and she had a cxr which was normal and blood tests and were sent home to wait for the results of the bloods. I had been waiting a number of hours and called the lab and her monocytes are high andcrp is 24. We cannot find the paediatrician he is not answering his phone. Should I take her to a different hospital or wait?

thank you. it is just 10 hours have passed.it is not possible to reach a diagnosis from this result.you can use paracetamol suppositiry & sponge the baby with warm water to normalize temperature.it may be viral fever.wait for 3-4 days,if condition not improving then consult a paediatrician.
