[|Human|] This weekend my 5 year old son got a 101 temp with a bad cough, complaints of sore throat, head ache and stomache ache.  By the first night it had spiked to 103.4  It went down after Anacetaminophen every 4 hours the next day to 101.4 and then  down further to 100.  By sunday evening the fever had gone and all that remained was a bad cough with yellow phlem and a occasional clear runny nose.  His head ache and stomache ache had gone within a couple of hours of the first night.  Now he has a fever again at 100.3 and he complains of stomache ache again.  What do I do?  Do I let his body fight this and continue with what Im doing or do I take him to the family doctor and get him on anti-biotics?
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Most often such symptoms in child Chat Doctor.  But the high temperatures need to be desperately brought under control. If acetaminophen does not seem to be very effective, Metal P syrup should be given. It contains metonymic acid which is more effective than acetaminophen. But it is a prescription medication, and you need to get it prescribed by your doctor. Give tepid sponging as well. It will also take care of body ache and headache. You need to give steam inhalation and some anti-allergic medicines during the episodes since it is associated with some allergic component. You should take the child to a doctor and get him examined especially if the fever lasts for more than 7 days or if the child becomes lethargic. However, I do not suppose that antibiotics need to be given as they are ineffective in viral infections.
