Suggest Treatment For High Fever, Headaches And Pain In Wrist
My 3.5 yr old daughter has high fever, going upto 104 deg with intermittent headache and bodyache. She complained of pain in her right wrist also as well as her eyes. Is there any need to get her tested for Dengue or Chikengunya or is this viral fever? Also, is Crocin Suspension good for such a condition? Thanks Gurpreet
