How Can Fever In A Toddler Be Treated?

Hi , my baby is 2 and half years old and she is having high fever 40 degree since last 6 days. My doctor has prescribed only panadol as it is working on her . We still do not know it s main cause. She doesn t like to eat or drink. Only at dinner time she demands for pop corn chicken (KFC) as its her favourite. So, gave it to her for last 3 days, as she drinks a lots of water after it. M cooking a chicken snitchzel too for her. So, is it ok to give chicken during fever ?

Hi and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
There is no harm in give her chicken while he has fever, we advise to gibe good diet during illness, and chicken is a good source of protein. However if she has fever for last 6 days, and it is not in decreasing trend then i would advise you should take her to the doctor as she may need some anti biotics. Yes you can continue if she is improving.
Hopes i have answered your question . I would be glad to answer if you have any further question.
Kind Regards
Dr Rahman
