[|Human|] Hello Sir, My 14 months daughter is suffering from high fever from last 3 days today in blood test report TLC of her blood cells is high about 17000 is more than the normal. My doctor suggested an antibiotic Monocef-O 50 4ml BD with 4ml Crocin 5 hourly, is the prescribed medicine is sufficeiently cured my baby?
[|AI|]  Hi... Fever of 3 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. I f the kid is active when there is no fever, actually I feel antibiotic - Monocef-O is not indicated here. 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 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 -
