What Causes Recurring Fever In A Child?

Hi Dr.

My daughter in 2.5 years old. Recently she has been getting fever every 15 days. For last 3 days, she is having fever, cough, running nose. Yesterday in her urine report, leukocytes came (10-15/vhf). Now doctor has advised to take Taxim o forte. & has advised for urine culture test. We have given the sample for the same. I just want to know, if there is anything else we need to take care about. Or should we get any other tests done.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query recurring fever in a child is due to impaired and reduced immunity of body. Need not to worry about it. Take antipyretic drug such as paracetamol and along with that do tepid sponging in between depending on intensity of fever. Visit general physician once and get it examined to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your physician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can take Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. If symptoms still persists go for blood tests and then start treatment as per that. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should get stool culture done as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
