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.
What Does Recurring Raised Temperature In A Child Mean?
my 2.5 year old daughter has had a temp of 39.5 for 2 days and a raised temp on and off for 3/4 weeks. Keeps spiking to 39.5 and sometimes 40 but never back down to her "normal temp" for her which is 36.4. She is shivering on and off and was sick once last night. would appreciate some advice. I am using calpol and ibuprofen to bring down temp which does work but only for a couple of hours and then it spikes again.
Fever and accompanying chills in children are typically due to somewhat benign conditions such as the common cold or flu viruses. Other causes of fever with chills might include infections of the ear, throat or sinus and urinary tract infections. Some serious but uncommon causes are meningitis, malaria, appendicitis etc. Since two days have gone with fever and chills, you need to consult doctor to get clinical examination and investigations done to find out exact cause of such complaints.
