Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

I suggest you to consult your doctor or paediatrician once again. This is because the fever is now more than 4 days duration. I also want you to take her to the doctor because she is having laboured breathing. This is a danger sign. Another danger sign she is having is poor feeding.
After a physical examination your doctor may advise certain investigations. Based on the investigation reports he may start further treatment.

Please monitor for danger signs. The danger signs are
1. Poor feeding and repeated vomiting.
2. Lethargy.
3. Loss of consciousness.
4. Fits or seizures.

Any child with the above danger signs should be reviewed by a doctor at the earliest possible.


Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
