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.
sir, my child aged 10 years. He got a temperature of 104 degrees F. However, if we touch his body, we assume the temperature must be below 100. His body is sweating also. After using Paracetamol also his temperature is not coming normal. What could be the reason and what is the remedy
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. If you had mentioned which day of fever is this and his activeness...it would have been very helpful. But by what you quote I think he is suffering from a viral illness. Please give Paracetamol at 15mg/kg/day every 6th hourly only if temperature is > 100F. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
