Suggest Treatment For Fever And Weakness In A Child
My 7 year old has been low on energy since soccer last night. It s quite hot, 27C. He is hot...fever hot. I ve tried to cool him down in our pool, but he was painfully cold even though his face was red. Normally he is in the pool for hours as he was yesterday. So we thought he was too tired for soccer. I ve given him a dose of Tylenol and he seems to have cooled down.

Hello. I just read through your question. The most common diagnosis for this scenario is a harmless viral illness. Typically, fever lasts 2-3 days accompanied by weakness and/or irritability before resolving on it's own. Tylenol for the fever is fine. Rest and fluids are also important. If the symptoms persist beyond 3 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
