Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...Mybson who is five years old has been running a temp of 102.9 for the past 8 hours, we have giving him some childrens fever medicine, and have a damp cloth for his forehead but it doesnt seem to be helping.  Hes lost his appetite and seems very tired and out of it, should I bring him to the er?
Hi, I do care for your concern. The fever that is not controlled by conservative medications, needs a detailed evaluation. I would suggested consult with your physician, and do complete fever profile to rule out the causative pathogen, and t be treated accordingly. In the meantime the procedures that you are following should be continued to keep the temperature at the modest level. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
