Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear Sir/Madam, My son has fever for the past 2 days and the doctor has diagnosed it to be viral fever an he has been on P125 for th epast 2 days.Yet the fever is not settled ........should we wait for one more day as the dr has adviced before proceeding?
I went through your son's history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:
1. Viral fever usually takes 3-7 days and then subsides by itself. There is no specific medicine for viral fever. So as long he as fever, I would suggest him paracetamol (P125).
2. If he has not developed any new symptom after starting treatment, I would suggest you to wait and give him medicines a suggested by your doctor. If he has developed any new symptom or his symptoms have been worsened, I would suggest you to get him examined by his doctor.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
