Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has fever which is of very high grade that is 103.5 which could be due to bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry about it. You can start with Meftal P 5 mg. You can give crocin syrup 5ml 4-5 times a day depending upon fever. You can You should give DayQuil as well. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Monitor dosage for child. Give mild dose after every 4hrly as Meftal-p contains mefenamic acid and paracetamol. Use mist humidifiers in room. Visit pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting. You should keep child dehydrated always.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
