Is anything serious?
Dear XXXXXXX,
It seems to me that you are used to brevity ... but, for a doctor to understand the problem, it is necessary to add more details. Please revert to me with the following additional information so that I can really help you:
= when the symptom of fever began
= what is the approximate cause of the fever
= how ill the child is
= how and where (i.e. which part of the body) was the temperature recorded from
= what is your location on the globe
= are there other affected members in the family
I am waiting to hear from you. In the meantime, you might want to bring that nasty fever down with a dose or two of paracetamol and sponging him with tap water.
Thank you.
With best wishes for his speedy recovery ...
