Suggest Medication For Fever & Rapid Heart Beat
My son woke up from a apparent bad dream, with a fever. I noticed that his breathing and heart beat was faster than normal. As I monitered him laying down, I noticed that he had a slight shake/tremble. I have given him children tylenol for the fever but I am worried about the abnormal breathing and heart rate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
