Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Fever, Lethargy And Chills

Possibly non specific viral infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms
Going by description of symptoms following possibility needs to be considered
1. Measles : Occurrence of fever , redness of eye , running nose and if associated with rash on skin then possibility of Measles needs to be considered
2. Non specific viral infection : It is more likely the cause of symptoms
In both cases the management is symptomatic treatment. I would suggest you the following
1. Normal Saline Nasal drops : 3 to 4 drops in each nose 6 times a day.
2. Steam inhalation : Preferably using electronic steamer. Maintain safe distance from baby.
3. Decongestant anti allergy syrup will be helpful for both runny nose and itching of eye
4. Continue giving Ibuprofen for fever
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
Take care

More likely to be viral respiratory infection
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms
Going by description it is more likely to be non specific respiratory viral infection if there is no associated rash. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. Usually the rash of measles occurs behind the ears and over the chest usually on 3rd day after initiation of fever.
In either cases its self limiting. Maintaining nutrition/hydration , controlling temperature, symptomatic treatment of respiratory symptoms is all that is required.
Take Care
Regards
Deepak
