Can Taking Motrin Be Safe For Fever?
My granddaughter is 2years old. She saw a doctor at EM on yesterday because she had a fever of 102.5. She was examined and the doctor stated that it probably was a virus which is going around. Today she does not want to eat or take Motrin because I checked her temp and it s 101.0. Should I bring her back to EM? She is playful as usual.

hello
welcome to HCM
If I were her treating doctor I should have given her syrup paracetamol 5ml thrice a day for 3 days along with Motrin.
And please check if she have any rash on her body. If she does not have any rash, then she will be fine.Donot worry.
If you have anything question, kindly ask us again.
wishing your granddaughter good health.
