[|Human|] Hi Doctor My babay is 11 months old, he is suffering from high fever (approx. 102 degree) last 5 days. My doctor advised to take IBUGESIC PLUS (3times) + Promethazine syrup I. P (one time) + Syrup of Ambroxol (3 times) + Montair LC Kid (1time) After taking this medicine, his fever is under control but once in a day the fever reached at 101 degree. That time he feels very uncomfortable.He has 8 teeth and 2 more are expected, so there is swelling in his mouth.So please suggest me that what I will do.
[|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. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
