Suggest remedy for fever and pain in legs of a 9 year old
Patient: My 9yr old daughter has been running a 101-104 temp for 2 weeks now. She went to the doc and was told she may have a respitory infection and given breathing treatments. She is still running a fever 3 days later and complaining of her legs hurting. What else can I do Doctor: Hello dear.I would like to have the complete prescription of the doctor.If she hasnt been given antibiotics for fever and respiratory tract infection,i think you should consult again.Fever also causes body aches so when fever and infection will settle,it will also settle on its own.Give her antipyretics (must be advised by your doctor)Paracetamol tablet 250 mg,one tablet 4-6 hourly to relieve fever.Also you can try home remedies like gargles with warm water having 1/2 a teaspoon of salt in one glass,twice daily.Give her 1 teaspoon of honey in a cup of luke warm water once daily to drink.Avoid cold drinks,icecreams,ketchup and candies.Hope it will help.Wishing your child good health.Stay blessed :-)
