Hi, my baby boy is 7 months old, he has had a high fever for the last 36 hours, I took him to GP yesterday she gave me ibuprofen and pamol for him - so far it has been working well, tonight however he is burning up again but still has freezing cold hands and feet - what does this mean and what should i do??
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. High fever must be controlled irrespective of diagnosis with paracetamol 15 mg/kg every 4-6 hourly along with tepid sponging to prevent febrile convulsions. For cure of the disease cause of fever has to be investigated. Viral fever subsides of it own within a couple of days.Otherwise, consult pediatrician.
