My son is 8 years old. He is getting very high fever from last 5 days. Vomit, loose motion are controlled by medicine. He is being treated for viral fever. When the fever rise he feels cold and his fingers and feet gets cold and white. The nails also turn blueish. He is still getting high fever after 5 days.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM.
SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENTING LIKE VIRAL FEVER.
If fever do not respond in day or two then one should investigate in terms of all possible infectious disease like typhoid, UTI, malaria, hepatitis etc and should be treated accordingly.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
