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 Is The Cause And Treatment For Fever In An Infant?
My 8 month old has been sick for two weeks. It started with an out of nowhere fever with no other sx s other than being feverish and not wanting to really eat for about 24 hours. His temp went up to 102. Then he started feeling better and a week later his head was really congested and eyes puffy with dark circles. Finally on sunday night his nose started to drain a sort of yellow/green color mucous. We have done saline spray with aspirator, humidifier, hot shower and his sx s are still not relieved. I must add that prior to his fever we were on the road for two days driving to colorado, which is part of the reason we didn t go to doc. Motrin seemed to break the fever. In addition he had gray poop on saturday and today. The other times it was normal.
Hi...by what you quote your kid initially seemed to have a viral illness and now I think he is getting a secondary bacterial infection. I suggest you consult a paediatrician and your son might require some blood tests and antibiotic. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
