Does Fever And Red Eye Need Medical Attention?
My 15 month old has had a fever for four days. Ranging from 100 to 103. 103 only being once and broke as soon as advil was give . He has a minor cough that only really appears at night. He is active and eating a little less than usual. Just today his eyes are red and he has some eye discharge. He is teething - one of his eye teeth broke through and i can see the other one close to the skin. Should I take him to the doctors???

Thanks for the query.
It looks like viral fever.
You need not worry if the child is playful, eating well, passing urine adequatly.
It may take 2 to 3 days for fever to go off.
Paracetamol for fever can be used.
Try syp. Ventorlin for cough.
Ciplox eye drops for red eyes.
Hope i helped you.
