5 Yo Female, Sudden Spike In Temperature. No Other Symptoms
Question: 5 yo female, sudden spike in temperature. No other symptoms
Brief Answer:
Possibly viral infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. Irrespective of treatment it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days.
If your child has fever with temperature more than 100°F, you need to give paracetamol or acetaminophen (P-250, Crocin or Tylenol) to it bring down. Also use tepid sponging.
Please be patient. It may take a few days for the recovery to occur.
Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
