Hello. My two year daughter is suffering from high fever. I have given her medicines since yesterday Rapitus 2.5 ml for cough, Sinarest 2.5 ml for cold, P 120 5 ml for fever but fever has not come in control so am staring today with Pecef 50 as usually when ever she has high fever, doctors here recommend Pecef 50. So kindly guide if I m on right treatment path?
Hi.... PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AN ANTIBIOTIC LIKE PE CEF without proper evaluation. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. Fever of 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 viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -
