Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
grandson, 8 months, has low fever, for 4 or 5 days now. went to doctor. ears look perfect. no sore throat. getting a tooth. thought maybe we would see roseola in a few days. no rash yet. now, on day 4, getting a bit stuffed up. restless and not sleeping well all week.
Hello Low grade fever with no sore throat and no infection in ear , so this type of fever may be due to these reasons , these include. 1 Typhoid fever, diagnosis can be confirmed by Widal test and serology test . 2 Malaria , as I have noted in my many patient with such symptoms malaria . Get in blood examination for malarial parasite . 3 Teething particularly first time naturally elevated temperature particularly over forehead and palm and sole of child . Because eruption of teeth causes rupture of gum layers so infection and fever. Take care about and in such cases usually I prescribe calcium syrup with paracetamol suspension ( 10 mg / kg body weight ). Good luck.
