He still has sores, no appetite, won t hardly drink. I m concerned about dehyrdation. I was told to give tylenol or iburopren and thats it.
Dear Madam/ Sir, Thank you for posting your query at Chat Doctor.comics are usually fussy when they are in fever. White spots in the tongues are called milk spots when they do not digest milk during fever. Give your child a dose Tylenol and wait for the fever to come down at that moment. Moment the fever is down feed the child properly with intervals. The food which could give the child - Fluids like fruit juices, oatmeal, boiled lentil water, mashed fruits, boiled veggies, mild soup. The child will only eat properly when fever reduces. Give plenty of fluids which will rely Chat Doctor. If you have any further query please revert to me, I will be happy to assist you. With best wishes,
