Suggest Treatment For Fever And Eye Pain In A Child
Hi My daughter started having a fever Saturday night. Her fever has been between 102 and 103. She vomited twice on Sunday. She still had a fever today but seemed better than yesterday. She is not eating too much. Now she is saying her eyes hurt. Should I take her to the Dr. Now or wait to see how she is in the morning. I m concerned about dehydration. I m not sure what to look for.
