[|Human|] my daughter is 5 years old and suffering from fever since 7 day s. The temperature goes to 103 F. I showed her a doctor and giver her medicines. But till date there is no relief from fever. Fever goes high in the night or you can say after sleeping she got high fever. She also not eating properly. We have done malaria test and the report is -ve. Doctor is saying wait for another 2 days and after that they will test for Typhoid. My daughter has history of meningites at the age of 6 months. We were on the process to give her booster at the age of five but before this she caught fever. Kindly suggest.
[|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.
