My 5 year old son has a fever of 103.5. He is groaning in his sleep and tossing about. I gave him a fever reducer approximately 1 hr ago. He has a cough and was wheezing until I gave him his nebulizer treatment. Should I be taking him to the ER at this point?
Hi, thanks for your question in Chat Doctor. Sorry to hear about your son. If he has wheezing, it is better to take him to ER or Pediatrician as further treatment can only be given after proper general physical examination and chest auscultation. Apart from that, continue fever relieving syrup like Tylenol or Metal or Cal pol, tepid sponging in high fever, keep the body warm, well HY Chat Doctor. I hope he gets well soon.
