Hi my 16 month old daughter was discharged from hospital today after suffering with high temperature sickness, runny nose, cough and runs, since being home her temperature has gone back up to 40.1 we have given her calpol and calprofen and it has come down to 39.7 she has also been very sick again is this likely to be viral or should i take her back to the ward?
Hi, Persistent sickness for how many days? Unlikely for a 16-year-old to get viral illness to cause that amount of sickness. Please go for blood investigations for her with total counts, CRP, ESR blood culture, platelets, GOT, SGPT and urine routine. Consult a GP for further treatment. Most likely, depending on symptoms, it is enteric fever. It can get treated with Definite or Azithromycin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
