Suggest Alternative Medication For High Fever In Children
My daughter is suffering from high fever i.e 102 ,every 2 to 3 hours her temp is changes to 101 and 102.I already given babygesic paracetamol drops 3times a day.But the temp is not comes down. one of my pediatrician says that, to give meftal-p.Even i use this meftal-p, my baby temp is not comes down.Her age is 7 months and weight is 7.4 kg.Can u plz advise me. Thankx
Since I am not aware of the duration of fever and any other associated symptoms, will be difficult to comment on the cause. When fever is not controlling with above said medicines, if I were your treating doctor, I would have given syrup flexon (ibuprofen + paracetamol) 3.25 ml three times a day for 2 days. Also do tepid sponging with tap water. Mostly such types of fever are viral and will come down by 2-3 days. If not, or she becomes lethargic/not feeding well, kindly review with your doctor further assessment and management accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
