Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. It would have been easier for me if I could see the reports of the blood and urine investigations that your doctor might have done. You have also not mentioned whether the baby is still exclusively breast fed or whether he/she is feeding well. I would have also liked to know about the frequency of passing urine and whether there is cough. If you let me know these details, I would be able to help you better.

Most of such fevers are viral. Since you are already giving antibiotics, I would suggest you to wait and see if the fever comes down. If the baby is not feeding well, it might be better to hospitalise the child. Meftal contains Mefenamic Acid which is prescribed for stopping bleeding. Your details are not enough to estimate the source of bleeding that your doctor is suspecting. Please get in touch with your doctor and discuss or get back to me with the details and I would try to help you further.
