Suggest Treatment For Fever In Children

My infant son ( 1year & 2 mos old) has been running a low grade fever for about 10 days now. Temp has ranged anywhere from 100.6 up to 102.6. We ve taken him to the Pediatrican 2 times this week and all the tests they ve done have come back negative (throat, breathing, ears) We can t figure out why he is still having the high temp. Any ideas

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of fever in children is seems to be due to viral infection. It could be due to compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15mg/kg. You should give child proper rest. You can give paracetamol syrup for fever as well to child. Your child's symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should them plenty of fluids to rehydrate. As fever of value 102.6 is high so you should do tepid sponging as well. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
