How To Treat Fever And Appetite Loss?

My 12 yr old son has a temp of 36.4. He has been sleeping 12 hrs a night, getting up, not eating, going back to bed, sleeping on and off all day. He picks at food, but nothing more. He is on 18mg Atmmoxetine for ADD. We are at a loss. He seems depressed. Any thoughts? Kathy

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. You may easily get her back to normal range if you will stop giving her Atomoxetine..
I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clininic. Decreased appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, irritability, constipation are side effects. If you see such symptoms you should give her Charcoal 3 tablets daily for 5 days.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you and child good health.
