Have Temperature. Taking Ibujesic Plus. Should I Consult A Doctor Right Away?
Hello, My son is 5 year old plus. He is running a temperature, today is the second day (basically less than 48 hours so far. He has no cough or cold. No stomach issues as of now. Is eating fine also. The fever has been returning from every 6 to 9 hours. I have been giving him Ibujesic Plus, 5 ml every 7 hours or so. Do I need to see a doctor right away ? Thanks, RK

Hi,
From what you explain it doesn't seem something serious.
Wait up to 72 hours, if the temperature lowers down or the interval between episodes is longer than don't worry.
If after 72 hours the temperature is the same, better to consult a doctor.
