Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is 10 yrs old Diagonised with typhoid a week ago. He is taking antibiotics for the last 7 days. His fever is coming down gradually.But last night he suddenly had fever at 102 which came down after I gave paracetamol. Should he be hospitalized? He is not having any other problem
Transient spikes of fever is quite common. As of now, give paracetamol tablets and wipe the body with wet towels to bring down the body temperature. If fever persists better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
