My daughter is 8 and is sufferring from fever which goes upto about 38C and keeps coming back every 8 to 9 hours after we give her paracetamol , not sure if its a viral infection or some other infection like urine infection , etc, the doctor has prescribed clarithromycin as well , which she has already taken 5 times
Hi, Apart from fever, what are her symptoms-like cough, throat pain, loos stools, vomiting? Whether azithromycin will be effective or not, will depend on the cause of fever. If it is respiratory infection (will be having cough, cold or throat pain), azithromycin is a good choice. But we have to wait 48-72 hours to get any relief. If it is just a fever only, with otherwise normal examination, I will take this as viral fever and give paracetamol for 3 days and review. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
