Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Ear Infection
My grandson is 17 months old. He is having high fevers of 101 up to 103 for the past 3 days. He has been touching his ears constantly which we assume might be ear infection. The ped confirmed that but also mentioned that he has catsaki virus. Today, she call my daughter to bring the baby back so she can draw his blood. I am worry and wonder why the doctor wants to draw blood. Could it be something worst?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such febrile condition in this age group could be due to some viral infection and some time to rule out other infection blood need to be examine and this is the routine examination and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
