Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, since fever is already for 2 days and you are giving Paracetamol and Ibuprofen it means that the child has fever which is infective in nature. Kindly do some blood investigations like complete blood count, CRP levels. An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. if fever persists then antibiotic needs to be started. Take care.
