[|Human|] My 4 year old son has high fever since last 8 days. crocin is ineefective. He has been prescribed Meftal-P. tests for typhoid, jaundice are negative. headache before his temperature starts rising is a constant symptom. No running nose, no cough, but mild chest congestion. Pls advise what could be the reasons.
[|AI|]  Hello, Fever is caused as the body is fighting against the attack from foreign organisms, headache is the first symptom to start with before the rise in body temperature followed by body ache. As you say child is having chest discomfort child needs to be evaluated further with an x-ray of chest and blood test for other fevers like dengue, malaria as well (only typhoid n jaundice is not adequate). Both Cronin and Metal P Chat Doctor.  An 8 days long fever needs to be evaluated to find the cause of fever, child has to be seen by a pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
