Suggest Medication For Fever In A Child
Hi My son is 9 years old with weight of 24.8kg He had fever of 100f when he returned from school at 4pm We gave him ibugesic plus 10ml at 6pm so his fever came down. We took him to doctor in the evening. He suggested to wait for 24hrs before starting antibiotic He suggested to give dolo 650 (half tablet) incase of fever exceeding 100f At 11pm we gave him half tablet but till 3am his temperature didn t drop below 100f Why? Should I try Ibugesic plus 10ml? What is difference betwn these two medicine? Best regards Vijay Jadhav

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
All the medicines are ok for the fever. provede they are given i proper recommended doses and duration.
Additional Ibugesic plus can be tried if fever is not responding.
Tap water sponging is very inportant should be done repeatedly till the fever responds.
Plenty of fluids.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
