How Can A Low Grade Fever A Week Old Be Treated?
My 2 year old daughter has been running a low grade fever for just over a week now. The lowest I ve seen is 99.7, but generally it s been staying between 100.1-100.5. Is this something I should call the pediatrician about? Between mid-March & the beginning of May, she had 3 back-to-back double ear infections. She has had ear infections before without running a fever, and generally is does not get irritable with them either.

Dear parent,
A child running fever for 1week should be completely examined physically.A otoscopic examination is a must as the child had previous episodes of ear infections. Presently child can be give paracetamol syrup of 125mg every 6th hourly if fever exists.
Child requires clinical examination and tests.
