Suggest Treatment For High Fever With Cough And Cold
Question: my 22 yr old daughter has had high fever with cough and cold for the last 5 days. Her throat is both painful and irritated. Tongue is coated white. The doctor asked for a renal test and I am wondering why
Brief Answer:
Please continue the medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your daughter may be having a streptococcal infection, which can also affect the kidneys and therefore your doctor has asked for renal function test.
Another possibility is that since your daughter is dehydrated (coated tongue) there may be alteration in the renal function and your doctor may want to check it.
Please don’t worry, continue the medications prescribed by your doctor and encourage her to take plenty of water/juice.
Take care
