What causes my son s recurring fever?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? my son is 2 years i month old he is having light infection of typhoid fever. from dec 23 to dec 31 he had fever and after that 12 days he was normal. again now from jan 13 to today he is having fever every five hours he is having fever what is the reason for this. Doctor: Hi,   It's very common for children to get infection easily from their surroundings. Since your child was well for almost two weeks prior to this illness, it looks more like a newer infection rather than the older one.  There are many causes for recurrent fever in children, but I don't think your son is having any serious or worrying condition.   I would suggest you give plenty of oral fluids and paracetamol (dose as advised by your paediatrician).  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
