Suggest Remedy For Continued Fever In A Child With Headache And Chills
Hello Dr. Grief. My 4 year old daughter has had a fever over the past four days that is around 102 - 102.5 as soon as the medicine wears off... I have been switching up between acetaminophen and ibuprofen, but am worried that the high fever will not go away and today is day four. No other symptoms, other than headache and chills.
