Suggest Treatment For Fever

my daughter is 21 and has had a fever of around 102 since sunday. She went to the health clinic on her campus and was told to rest and drink liquids. They don't think it is the flu or mono. She does not have a sore throat. What do you suggest? She is just taking tylenol (walgreens brand).

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having high grade fever which could be due to bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry about it. You can give crocin syrup 5ml 4-5 times a day depending upon fever. You can You should give DayQuil as well. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Give mild dose after every 4hrly as Use mist humidifiers in room. Visit general physician once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Get complete examination and blood tests done and start treatment after proper prescription. Give plenty of fluids to your daughter.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
