How Can Viral Fever And Body Tremors In A Child Be Treated When RBC And WBC Counts Are High?
Hi doctor, My kid is 6 year old 20kg weight. Crp blood test is positive with 50 value. As per doctor, it is Viral. Hemigram also has high WBC and RBC. Doctor prescribed antibiotic. I have question as his temperature is not returning to normal. 103 degree ferannite is temp. It is not getting reduced. I gave maftal p 3.5ml Now he is shivering and we are waiting for temp to return normal. In this condition can I do sponging at Home though he is shivering or shall I rush my kid for admission. Pls advise

dear
thanks for writing to HCM
I understand your concern.
High fever in kids mandates sponging, so it should be started immediately.Shivering will be followed by a increase in temperature again.
Do sponging with normal tap water and be calm.
Fever will decrease,however we need a hospitalisation if prolonged and repeated bouts of fever are there.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
