[|Human|] Hi doctor, My kid is 6 year old 20kg weight. Crp blood test is positive with 50 value. As per doctor, it is Viral. Hemigram also has high WBC and RBC. Doctor prescribed antibiotic. I have question as his temperature is not returning to normal. 103 degree ferannite is temp. It is not getting reduced. I gave maftal p 3.5ml Now he is shivering and we are waiting for temp to return normal. In this condition can I do sponging at Home though he is shivering or shall I rush my kid for admission. Pls advise
[|AI|]  Dearthanks for writing to ChatDoctorI understand your concern. High fever in kids mandates sponging, so it should be started immediately. Shivering will be followed by an increase in temperature again. Do sponge with normal tap water and be calm. Fever will decrease, however we need a hospitalization if prolonged and repeated bouts of fever are there. Hope this helps most welcome for further queries
