Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Sinus Infection In A Child
13 mo old male with sudden onset hi fever 102 to 105 for 4 days. Giving Motrin round the clock but still with fever spike between doses. Unable to bear weight on 1 leg. Refusing to walk no redness or swelling noted. Ec visit with X-ray and ultrasound 3 days ago negative no upper respiratory symptomatic present time. Cold and sinus infection 3 weeks ago. Getting very worried not getting better no blood work has been done yet. Thinking of going back to ec today. Any opinions?
From the available description, it is possible that child is suffering from either meningitis or encephalitis which is kind of serious central nervous system infection. There is a need to visit the ER as soon as possible and I think LP should be done to obtain CSF and further examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
