Suggest Remedy For High Fever
Our daughter is having high fever reaching upto 103-105 degree C since last 2 days. Have given Meftal P earlier and now Meftal forte, but the fever comes down only after 2-3 hours of medicine being given. Is it normal, and what care should be taken to bring down the fever quicker? We have been doing the sponging as soon as the fever arises, but even then it is taking 2 hours. Please advise.

Hi,
It seems that she might be having viral fever and will take 2-3 days to control.
But seeing the temperature reaches up to 1o5 requires attention as with this temperature a child might get delirium or febrile convulsions.
It is better to consult your doctor and get her examined.
Give her plenty of water and liquids and keep her well hydrated.
Ok and take care.
