Suggest treatment for fever and chills in a baby while teething
Patient: Hi , I have a 1 year 3 month old  baby girl , she is teething , for the last 2 nights and days she has had  fever with cold chills , I have been giving her Iburopen Fever meds for kids , which breaks the fever , however I only give it on the onset of the fever and chills ,   please advise Doctor: Hello,I can understand your concern. It is right that she might be teething at this age and might be little cranky and annoyed due to sore gums. However, teething process is not associated with fever and chills. The symptoms she is presenting indicates that she might be having infection which is not related to oral cavity and she should be seen by a pediatrician. Thus, my advise to you is to do not rely just on Ibuprofen as it might control the symptoms for the time being while not treating the underlying infection or disorder. You should consult a pediatrician for the clinical examination of your daughter and further investigations, if needed.I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your daughter feels better soon.Best,Dr. Viraj Shah
