Suggest Treatment For Fever And Chest Congestion
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 9 year old son has awoken with a fever of 105.5 and he mentioned that his heart is pounding. I counted about 107 beats per minute while he is resting in bed. He has been fighting cold symptoms for about 4 days. He's had a fever on and off (highest was 103 before now). We've given him a dose of children's Ibuprofen as well as a wet cloth to the forehead. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your son needs to be evaluated for high grade fever and heart pounding.
So better to consult pediatrician and get done blood reports, ecg, chest x ray to rule out cardiac and lung related diseases for his symptoms.
He needs antibiotics and other supportive drugs.
So take him to pediatrician.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
