Suggest Medication For Fever And Soreness Around Neck And Arm
Hello, my 4 year old daugher has had a fever on and off for about 2 1/2 weeks now. Tonight she woke up with a temp of 38.3, and a sore neck and a sore right arm. I did give her tylenol at 10:30pm. Now she is back in bed, very light sleeper. This worries me, can you tell me anything about this please?
