Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. He appears to be having features of heat stroke complicated with viral fever. Dehydration is the main cause, leading to disorientation.
2. Good hydration, with oral rehydration salts and a protein rich diet is necessary for improvement.
3. Do continue on paracetamol for fever. Cifran 500 can be started for preventive secondary bacterial infection. Also probiotics and yogurt will help in improvement of gut infection, if any.
4. Nutritious Diet and good hydration is very important. Minimum of 6-8 liters of water is necessary. Do keep the temperature under control.
No restrictions on diet. Avoid spicy food for now.
If he feels disoriented or fever is not under control, you will need to go to ER.
Hope it helps.
