What Is The Treatment For High Fever In A Child?
My 23 month old daughter started having fever last night, highest she s had was 104.2. We gave her infant s tylenol which have helped but she s still having fever of 100.8 latest. I also noticed a very foul smelling urine when I changed her diaper. Other than that, she doesn t have any other symptoms. I already made an appt with the doctor to see her. Could it be a sign of UTI? Thanks

Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
Well,it can be UTI,especially if the child is crying excessively on micturition.
This can be treated with antibiotics and antipyretics for a few days.
As you already have an appointment,doctor will guide you.
Meanwhile,give as much milk/fluids as possible to maintain a proper hydration.
Hope this answer will help.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.
