Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi Dr how are you? my 8 weeks old son have a fever. His temp runs from 101.8 to 103.4. He in the hospital for 48 hour and the doctors couldn t find anything wrong with him. They said it s viral but they don t know what viral it is and where is comming from.
Such high fevers are generally caused by viral infections but typhoid fever also could be a cause. These viruses are always around and we catch them whenever our immunity gets depressed as with lowering of temperature. You need not bother about the source of such viruses. Please give the child paracetamol drops or syrup to reduce the temperature. In viral fevers, blood parameters are otherwise fine. Antibiotics are not required if the child is active at times other than with fever.
