Suggest Treatment For Frequent Fever

My son has been sick for almost a month. He'll get a fever for about a week and then be ok for a couple days and then back to the fever. I took him to the doctor and he didn't seem to be concerned about it at all because his temp. never reached 104. I don't know what to do, the poor guy is just camped inside all the time.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have frequent fever which seems to be due to poor immunity of body which making your child susceptible to infections. Well this is something you should be concerned about. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for complete blood count and blood sugar test to detect level of infection and find out any systemic pathology. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Till then take Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. Drink plenty of water. you should do tepid sponging if fever is of high intensity. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
