Severe headache and low grade fever,dizziness.Treatment?
Patient: HI. We are on Vacation in the Moutains. My six year old son complained yesterday with a tummy ache, which only lasted a little while. Last night as we come down out of the Moutains he complained with ear pressure, which was followed with a bad headache and low grade fever. This morning his only complaint is dizziness, otherwise he seems OK. We treated this with children s tylenol and benedryl. How should we treat this since we are many miles away from his doctor? Doctor: Hello,  What you have done currently with Tylenol and Benadryl is perfectly normal. Please continue the same management, keep him well hydrated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
