Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 14 months old and had a high temperature two nights ago. Her fever continued for the whole night but was brought down with paracetamol and a lukewarm shower. She was fine thereafter without any other symptoms. I didn t notice any crying during urination or any ear discomfort so I m not sure what could have cased it. She had recovered from a viral cold two weeks prior and is breast fed. She is perfectly well now, should I still take her to the paediatrician

Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you no need to worry and no need to take him to paediatrician until he shows any sign of severe disease. Continue with paracetamol in appropriate dose also think of taking amoxycillin to prevent secondary infection. Such a fever in child is usually a viral infection and will be self limiting disease. I will be happy to answer your further concern You can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
