Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

As per your details, 8 days old fever should be evaluated with blood test, X-ray chest.

In case of viral fever, fever spike goes every 6 hours, better to give Tylenol every 6 hourly to prevent fever induced fits.

kindly evaluate with pediatrician, as already he is on antibiotic.


Hope, I have answered your query, all the best, take care.
