Suggest Treatment For High Fever In Toddlers
My son, 2yrs and 4 months old, started a very high fever after 2 vomits on the previous day and little coughing in early morning. It is the 6th day today and he still has not recovered. From day 2 to day 5 the Doctor prescribed taximo and Meftal-p and today, on 6th day, the doctor prescribed Taximo Forte this time and SumoL for fever. The doctor said that chest is now clear but antibiotics are required for 3 more days. The fever used to shoot up to 103+ in the first 4 days but it goes up till 100 since day 5. Please advice.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg body weight every 4-6 hourly along with tepid sponging controls the fever effectively.
Continue antibiotics as per doctor's advice.
Once fever reduces vomiting will be controlled.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
