Is It Okay To Give 'ibuprofen' To My Child For Fever?
Hi. My 9year old daughter has a fever of 100.3. She also has a shunt in her head so I get a little worried when she starts to get sick. I have given her ibuprofen for pain and fever and I have give her cough meds for the cough. And 2 breathing treatments using albuterol and pulmicort. Is that ok or should I talk her to children's hospital?

If the fever does not subside in next 48 hours, baby is excessively sleeping and refusing food then shunt infection has to be ruled out.
Do consult your Physician if fever does not subside.
Do get back to me for further queries
