Suggest Treatment For Fever In Kids As Goldgesic And Ponstan Didn T Work
My 3 and a half year old has had a fever since Sunday afternoon. She refuses to eat only drinks a little. Her wind is very smelly. After giving her doctors medication, including antibiotic since yesterday, Goldgesic syrup and a ponstan suppository today, she is still feverish. How long does the ponstan take to work, as I need to give her laxette only when the fever is broken. Please assist. What could be wrong with her. Her fever was 38 degress when checked by doctor yesterday.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. By what you say I feel that your kid is going through a viral illness. Once viral fever starts it may take 4 or 5 days to settle down completely. But most importantly the kid will be active when there is no fever.
If the kid is active and otherwise well when the fever touches the baseline, then you need not worry about the fever.
But if the kid is having red rash all over the body, decreased urine output, puffiness of face, hands and feet then, I suggest you get back to your pediatrician as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
