Hi, My daughter she's 5yrs has been running a fever since Friday. I got her into the DR on Monday and unfortunately they said it was a virus and couldn't do much for her. Her fever went away on Monday and is back again. I have been giving her Tylenol and Ibruprofen for the fever she's still running. She has a horrible cough, and a very runny/stuffy nose. I am also giving her a cold and cough medicine. I give her the meds every 4 to 6 hours, but feel like its too much. The fever wont go down. And over the counter cough and cold has not worked well.
I have the humidifier on, and tried a warm steamy shower. Should I be worried that she's had the fever for so many days? What if its pneumonia, and what would be the warning signs as to when I should get her to the ER?
Thank-you
