Hi..My self Vipin I have a question regarding my 6.5 year old son, he is suffering from fever from past 8 days....We met to pediatric Doctor, initially they prescribed Children Tylenol for 5-6 days but still fever comes in/out. Then again we met same Doctor this time they prescribed Amoxicilin antibiotic (5ml three times in a day) for my son, we continuing Amoxicilin from two days but still fever comes in/out (when we give Tylenol his fever gets down but again after 4-5 hr. it comes back). Please advise. Thanks Vipin
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As per your details, 8 days old fever should be evaluated with blood test, X-ray chest. In case of viral fever, fever spike goes every 6 hours, better to give Tylenol every 6 hourly to prevent fever induced fits. Kindly evaluate with pediatrician, as already he is on antibiotic. Hope, I have answered your query, all the best, take care.
