Suggest Treatment For High Fever Along With Chest Congestion In A Child
I have a child that is six years old and she been running a 102 3 fever for three days we been giving her Advil and ibuprofen they bring it down but doesn t back it the only other system she seem to be having is congestion and stuff nose nothing in the chest and I was wondering if I should bring her to a DR. There is a virus with those systems in my area is the fever high enough for me to worry
Thanks for your query on health care magic. From your history it seems that your child has a viral upper Respiratory tract infection. it is common to have have grade fever in viral infection and not the indication for hospitalization if child doesn't have any other problem. I advice you to give him ibuprofen for fever, cold sponging if fever is high grade, and plenty of water to drink and bed rest. Antibiotics in viral infection will not help and should not be given.
