Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Sudden onset fever without any other associated symptoms is suggestive of viral fever. During peak temperature, it is common to have fast breathing (physiological response). If breathing becomes normal once fever is controlled with paracetamol, we need not worry.

If he is active in between fevers and taking feeds, just continue paracetamol and any other drugs given for 3 days. He will be alright in 2-3 days. Get back to you doctor if fever is not coming down by then or he becomes lethargic and not feeding.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
