[|Human|] My 5 year old daughter has a 102.5 fever and has mentioned her eyes are burning a little. Her eyes are also a little bloodshot. She seems fine besides that. Do you think her body is fighting off a bug/infection? She has had a fever sunce last night. It was low-grade (100) when she woke up this morning but had spiked again. Should I give her something to lower it?
[|AI|]  Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. Fevers are an immune response of the body towards infections and should be treated if they spike more than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. I would recommend you to start her on acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever episodes. Repeat the dose at 6-8 hours interval if fever persists. Also, cold sponging will be helpful to bring faster relief. If fever persists for more than days or if It's associated with any other symptoms, then a proper clinical examination by pediatrician will be helpful. For more questions, you may contact me. Take care
