Suggest Treatment For Cold , Fever And Chills

My daughter woke up this morning with a temp. I treated her with Tylenol and she said she felt a little better for awhile but now she is burning up again but also has chills. I tried to hydrate her with fluids and a popcicle but she said it was too cold. Finally she ate it and I gave more Tylenol so she fell back asleep. Shortly after that she jerked so bad she almost fell of the couch. She opened her eyes and looked at me but went back to sleep. I don t know if I should take her to urgent care or not. I am a very worried mother. Please help.

Hi,
Thanks for riting in to HCM.
Your daughter could be having flu which is usually viral in nature and is treated symptomatically giving paracetamol (tylenol).
Kindly also keep her hydrated giving her good amounts of warm fluids.
Kindly avoid cold popcicles as it may aggravate the cold.

Kindly take her to the paediatrician.
Kids may suddenly jerk out of sleep due to disturbed sleep or a dream when they are not well. If she has not had any seizures (irregular jerky movements then no need to worry).

Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
