Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my daughter who will be 11 years old on July 11 was running high fever about a week ago. As it became somewhat uncontrollable even after she was given paracetamol syrup [Lotemp] and we witnessed abnormal movement of her limbs we shifted her to a hospital. Doctors failed to diagnose the cause of the fever although she went for certain blood and urine tests and even a CT scan was done on her brain/head. The fever subsided for a day or so after she was given three Nimesulide tablets (Nise) one each after six hours interval but it reoccurred. On this a different whom we consulted advised to go for Widal, Liver Function and urine tests which we quickly got done at a private laboratory. The Widal examination showed salmonella (O) at 320 on which the said doctor prescribed Ciprofloxican antibiotic medicine and also polybion which we are giving her for the past couple of days. There has been little improve though. What should we do now to get better results. .
Hi, Now as proper diagnosis is made and treatment is started, it will take still some days to come temperature normal level. Antibiotics takes some time to start its action. Give her liquid diet like milk, buttermilk, fruit juices, rice. Give her plenty of water. Give her reest. Ok and take care.
