Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Severe Dehydration In A Child
My four year old has an unexplained fever of 102.6. She isn't eating or drinking. Should I be concerned about dehydration? What do I look for? She hasn't wanted to drink anything for two days, is usually a bed wetter and has been dry three nights now. The fever started yesterday afternoon.

Hi, i do care for your concern.
Lethargic child refusing oral feeds is a matter of concern.

To consult a pediatrician, to rule the causative agent for fever.
To get blood test done and treated according to it.
early intervention is needed and medications can provide excellent results.
