Suggest Treatment For High Fever While On Motrin

I just noticed my 10 year old has over 104 degree fever. I immediately gave him some motrin and a luke warm bath and was able to get it down only to 102.7 right now. Do you think I can wait to see the pediatrician in the morning or should I take him to the ER?

Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your concern

“As” per your clinical history is concerned he is suffering from fever so he needs a physical examination first so visit to your doctor for it and your doctor may advise you few blood tests like complete blood count to know the exact cause of fever and whether it is viral, bacterial or protozoal in origin.so it will be clear from blood test only, and he will be get well soon.

Hope that helps
