Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,thank you for the interest you have shown in HCM.Your grand daughter is having fever with severe headache for the last 4 days.OK if it is not associated with vomitings,you can as well give Paracetamol as per the weight and do tepid water sponging and if there is no response add Ibuprofen at least 1-2 doses to get relief from the headache as mostly viral fevers respond by 5-7 days,otherwise you have to consult a Pediatrician to exclude some important conditions like Meningitis etc.
