What Causes Persistent Fever In A Child?

My 4 year old had a series of blood work done because she has had fevers everyday for over a week and the doctors don t know what could be wrong. I got her lab results emailed but don t know what they mean. She has a SED rate of 53mm the normal range is far less is this cause for concern? I ll gladly share other lab results. Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids to maintain hydration. Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of excess sugar , oily , non veg , spicy , dairy fat , junk foods , artificial sweeteners. Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day. Deep breathing exercises , walking in fresh air , YOGA help to recover faster. Avoid exposure to dust , pollens ; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take cefadroxyl twice a day for five days, you can take Paracetamol twice a day for five days. You can Rantac D twice a day for five days. Give Salbutamol twice a day for five days. Avoid smoking or any form of tobacco consumption. Avoid stress, anxiety. Tessalon pearls 3 times a day. Basil leaves, turmeric powder in boiled skimmed milk, pure honey, chamomile, tea are herbal recovering agents. Consult later your doctor if required for further evaluation with lab tests , X-ray, chest & detailed management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
