Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. As your son is having fever with headache,
dizziness, it could be "Viral Fever". You must
consult doctor to get blood investigations to confirm diagnosis.
He will advise
:
haemoglobin, total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count to know the type of infection
: If you are from India and neighbour countries, get dengue serology done.
: Peripheral smear will rule out malaria.
The treatment of fever is simple
: Tablet
Paracetamol according to his body weight
: Plenty of fluids by oral route. If oral intake is less, the doctor might give intravenous fluids (normal saline, ringer lactate).
: To bring temperature down, applying cold compresses is advised.
: Give him good nutritional diet to increase immunity.
: Some physicians also prescribe vitamin B complex and
vitamin C to enhance immunity.
Hope it will help you. Still in doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
