Suggest Treatment For Persistent High Fever Without Cold In Infants
My child who is 18months old is suffering from high fever from last two days. He does not have any clod and cough. He also does not seem to have pain in his ear. The fever is very high 102 and we are giving him Triaminic infant drops (80 mg per .8 ml) , we are giving him .8 ml. Can you please advise if the dosage is ok? What could be the cause of the fever ? Can I give him some antibiotic, azithromycin 200 (40 mg per ml)? It would be very helpful to get your advice.

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern regarding to your child’s health.
First of all, you give him Ibugesic-Plus (if no allergy), 5 ml, 3 times in a day at the interval of 8 hours instead of Triaminic for relief in fever. Go for laboratory investigation of Blood-CBC to rule out the cause of fever. After getting the report, consult your pediatrician for diagnosis and further treatment.
Give him maximum liquid. Put cold sponges on forehead, palms and soles if fever increases higher than 100 degrees.
Hope this will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
