Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns.
You daughter seems to be suffering from either an inflammatory or an infective cause of illness. There could be many possibilities such as Viral fevers, connective tissue disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, a bacteremia etc.

I would recommend you the following measures:
1. Laboratory tests like complete blood count, C reactive proteins, ESR, CHEST AND SPINE X Ray, ANA.
2. Start her on acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever. You can repeat the tablet after 6-8 hours. If still persistent, you may give her Mefenemic acid I.e. Meftal P.
3. A good rest and diet will be of help.

You can contact your pediatrician for a good clinical examination. Many a times diagnosis can be formed by a good clinical examination.

You may contact me with the reports so that I may help you in a better way.
Take care.
