Suggest treatment for child suffering from fever and chills
Patient: My 1 year old has had a fever out of the blue since last night, when we gave him Motrin he spit it right back up, this morning the fever was over 103 so again we gave him motrin, that was 5 hrs ago and since then it has came back and now he has the chills, should I ride it out with meds or take him to the ER? Doctor: Hello,  If a similar patient comes to my old I would suggest admitting the kid aa his fever is above 100. it is always suggested to admit the child and start on iv medications to bring it down. Once it drops down you can continue with tablets. so kindly tale him to ER.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Jilu Joseph, General & Family Physician
