Suggest Treatment For Fever And Headache In A Child
my 5 year old son has fever 39.8c for 24 hrs now. He complains of a headache and tempra takes down the fever without any problems. He is drinking well and eating crackers & apple sauce. He is also playing well. How long do I wait for him to see a doctor?
Fever and headache in a child can try Paracetamol for 3 days. If it doesn't subside you can add antibiotics on results of CBC and urine routine. If headache is severe and fever does not subside you have to do a CSF culture to rule out meningitis.
