What Is The Raised Heart Beat During A Fever In Child?
Hello Dr My son is 6 years old. Last week he was suffering from high fever more 100 temperature. We gave him calpol syrup 5ml every 4 hours but fever didnot come down at all. Next day we tried with Adol 5ml his fever came down. When he had fever his heart was beating very high? I notice this when I kept my hand on my son s chest. I apprecaite if you could provide the answer why the hearting was beating heavily??
Fever is usually associated with increased heart rate. As the chest wall of a child is thin as compared to adults, sometimes heart beat can be felt by hand. If your child has no other complaints like breathlessness, chest pain, decreased stamina, palpitations etc. you need not worry.
