Suggest treatment for high fever in a child
Patient: my 6yr old son has had an average of 102/103 tem since friday night.. with the only other symtom is a headache here and there... in the middle of the night last night i am pretty sure his fever broke... his temp was down to like 96 and he was all sweaty... but woke this morning to 103 and after taking a drink of juice, vommited it back up. Doctor: Hi,  Fever for more than 4 days requires blood investigations. It could very well be bacterial infection. If you are living in a tropical country or recently a visit happened, please check for malaria.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
