What Medicine Should I Give My 9 Month Old Kid For Fever ?
my nine moth old has a continuing fever for the past 48 + hours. The fever is in the 102 range. We have been giving ib pro. thats seems to only be bringing it down to 100 for an hour or so then spiking back up into the 102 s ? We have been giving her cool baths but tonight she shivered like crazy afterwards... When do we go back to the doctors?

Hello sugarswt;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
If your baby is having fever and shivering then it can be due to malaria;viral;pneumonia;and even urinary tract infection.You need to get her to a doctor immediately and get her examined so that proper treatment can be done and she can be started on antibiotics or antimalarial depending upon the diagnosis done by the doctor.Please consult a Paediatrician and get treated.
Thanks
