[|Human|] My son is 4 (today) he has ha a temp of up to 102.5 but has been fluctuating from 100-101.9 for nearly 8 hours. His body is so hot to touch but he says hes cold. I have been giving his acetometophen but he is just not breaking the fever and wont drink much and hasnt ate in about 10-12 hours. What should I do?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Acetoamenophen 15 mg/kg/dose along with tepid sponging will control fever. But if fever continues you have to search for a cause. Male child of 4 years usually suspect urinary tract infection, respiratory infections, and it may be due any cause.Hence, you have to contact pediatrician for thorough investigation and treatment. You may try definite 8 mg/kg in 2 divided doses. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
