Having Fever. Feeling Weak. Given Cetirizine And Meftal. What To Do ?

Hi, On Thursday morning, I saw my daughter was having fever of 101. Then I gave cetrizine syrup 3ml. After that, fever didn't come down. Then I gave 3ml 3times Meftal P. Each time I used to give this medicine, the fever goes down for sometime and comes up again. On Friday I gave 5ml in morning and she was ok. In the afternoon again fever came . So in night we gave again 5ml. Today ( Saturday) morning, she is some what ok. No Fever as such but feeling very week I observed. What to do ? Is it something else ? Is it required to consult a physician and go under some tests ?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for posting your query,

You should understand that is fever is just a manifestation of some illness in the body commonly infection which could be viral ,bacterial or parasite like malaria.
There are so many other causes.

You can use safe antipyretic like paracetamol and cold sponging to bring fever down.
We must know the cause of fever and need to treat the cause, so that it is treated completely and not just suppressed because fever will come again and usually disease takes 3 to 5 days to recover.

Please make sure to visit a Physician and examination and proper investigation and treatment is given to her.
In fact mild to moderate rise in temperature our immunity works better to fight against infection.
Please keep her well hydrated by ensuring good intake of fluids like fruit juices,soups,and water and provide enough calories to avoid weakness.
Please take very good care of her.
Good Luck.
