My Niece is 3 years old suffering from fever last 4 days. Everyday the temperature raised to 102 and we giving paracetomol syrup. Today doctor advised me to test urine and we identified that Albumin is showing +. Is there any problem in her health? what precautions should take? Regards, Rama
Hi.... fever of 3 days in not be worried about if the child is active in between two fever episodes. But 3 + proteinuria is a cause of concern. I would like to follow up the child and also do some other tests like serum cholesterol and serum albumin level to rule in or rule out the possibility of nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. If these tests are normal then I would leave it as a viral fever induced proteinuria. Regards -
