How can fever, headache and constant clearing of throat in a child be treated?
Patient: 7 yr old has been blinking hard for days (started after given Ritilin, but discontinued), been clearing his throat, today had fever 102+ (gave childrens Tylenol) and complained of headache. After Tylenol fever seemed to break and sweated a lot but now temp seems to be coming back up. Doctor: Hi,  Fever and headache are less likely to do anything with intake of Ritalin. In my opinion, it could be a viral fever. You have to keep giving Tylenol. If the fever does not subside, then go for blood investigations.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Himani Saroha,  Pediatrician
