Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having symptoms of high fever which seems to be due to viral or bacterial infection. It could be due to urinary tract infection and due to underlying systemic pathology. Need not to worry. You should maintain complete hygiene. You should take anti-allergic medication along with proper course of antibiotic along with Ibuprofen. Avoid intake of outside food. You should do tepid sponging to lower down fever. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests redone and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take diet rich in fresh juices and fruits. Drink plenty of water and fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
