Bt fever went up to 102.7 pls advice what to do ?
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Your son is likely to be suffering from a gastrointestinal infection. The fever is indicative of infection. The lethargy is not a good sign and needs to be investigated. I would suggest you to get a blood count and a CRP (C-reactive protein) done and to visit a pediatrician (with the reports if available). If the reports are not ok, he might need to be admitted and treated with antibiotics and IV fluids. In any case ORS should be given to reduce the effects of salt and water loss and to correct deny Chat Doctor.  Syrup ODEM (ondansetron) can be given preferably half an hour before food intake to reduce the vomiting. Feeding should be continued. Continue cal pol 250 and also give sponging (with water at room temperature) to reduce the temperature. Hope that answers your query. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.
