Question: My daughter is 2yr 7months Ive just treated her for malaria a few weeks back But just about 2 days now shes been running a high temperature She was tested for malaria again yesterday but it was negative I have used paracetamol for her but the high temperatures doesnt seem to go down  What could be responsible for this high temperatures and what do you advise that I do Thanks very much for the great work your team is doing
Answer: Hello Samuel 

How is your baby doing Is there any rash or discharge from eyesears etc Any vomiting or diarrhoea 
If yes please visit a doctor ASAP to identify the causes and then treat Meanwhile continue the paracetamol and tepid sponging but if it doesnt resolve in a day or two you will require a physical examination and tests to possibly identify the focus of an infection 

Cheers
