Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, my 6 year old. Woke up complaining of a headache and sensitivity to sound. He also has a temp of 102 and well as very lethargic. He tends to be super active even during time of high fever. He is not responding to Tylenol or ibu is been about. 12 hours should I be concerned or continue to let him sleep it off?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Tyelenol 15 mg/kg body weight 4-6 hourly or Ibuprofen 10 mg/kg body weight 6 hourly along with tepid sponging will reduce temperature effectively. But as he is lethargic better consult pediatrician to arrive at a diagnosis and prompt treatment. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
