[|Human|] my daughter who is 6 year old weight 25kg is running high fever 104 then i gave her plain parcetamol after every 4 hours. She had altogether 2 doses of it. fever came down from 104 to 100.5 But now again i checked it was 102. What should i do now? Should i give her parcetamol +Ibugesic plus medication now?
[|AI|]  Hi.... Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. You can give paracetamol 650 mg 1/2 tablet for her weight. Regards -
