Suggest remedies for fever in a child
Patient: hi dear doc my baby is twenty months old she was having fever since last two days cough since last five days ,her cbp shows 27% of polymorphs and 62% of lymphocytes ,over all lymphocyte count is 13900 and her crp level is 0.10 ,main worrying part is she is not taking medications orally ,is there any other alternative for me rather than iv injectables pls kindly let mee know sir Doctor: Hello. I just read through your question. This is very common in pediatrics and there are many babies who refuse to take medication orally. To reduce fever, there is a rectal suppository form of acetaminophen that can be use. It is very effective. Additionally, cool compresses to the forehead can also often reduce fever. I suggest trying these methods to help make your daughter more comfortable.
