What Causes Fever And Lethargy In A Child?

My daughter is four yrs old and Friday night she came down with a fever and once I was able to get a teaspoon of motrin down her she reminded me of Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Sat. I came home from work and the fever was still prestent. The babysitter told me she had no fever till hour before i picked her up but she simply laid on the couch all day with no energy or appetite. Today being Sunday, she is breathing very fast and lathargic with a fever of 102.under arm dig. thermometer. I am so worried, she is not herself and is to scared to tell me what is wrong.

Hi,

You can give her paracetamol syrup four times per day to lower her temperature. In addition to augmentin syrup 325 mg as this is an infection.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
