<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My son had fever for last 9 days now .First 3 days it was high in the range of 102 to 104 . Later its has been in the range of 98.4 to 102 but 2 time it has touched 104 in last 6 days . He has cold hands and feet generally and gets just before the fever starts to come down he the palms and feet get warmer .He has felt cold and a little chills 4-5 times in 8 days . Yesterday a Homeopath gave us RHUS TOX 1m and Lycooodium 1m globules .He asked us to mis 2 globules in 30ml of water and give alternatively every 2 hrs and 3 doses of each in a day. Thankfully the fever has come down. But he has started getting redish rashes all over the body with some itching from yesterday even bofore we started giving him the doeses . Before we started on Homeo , we have been giving him Crocin every 4 hrs and Ibugesic everytime it went above 102 F. We stopped Ibugesic yesterday suspecting this rashes to be more due to ibugesic . Today the rashes have been acute and are reappearing even if i am using calamine. Is he on right medication ? Kindly help.  <response>: Hello, Fever of a few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually, rather than fever, what is more, important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and it doesnt require antibiotics at all. Once the viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about the duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
