[|Human|] hi my son had a tempature at 102 all day today. Stayed home and rested. tonight his temp shot to 104. Just gave him Tylenol 325 x 2. He also had 400 mg of advil at 8 (now 10:46). Weight 120, just pulled from cool bath - temp holding at 104. Is this normal range for a 10 yr old?
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. 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 (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
