Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having fever which is due to impaired and reduced immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. It could be due to viral infection as well. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your physician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can take Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. If symptoms still persists go for blood tests and then start treatment as per that. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. You can take Taxim - o as well. You should get stool culture done as well. Take diet rich in fruits and multivitamins. Take antipyretic drug such as paracetamol and along with that do tepid sponging in between depending on intensity of fever.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
