Suggest Treatment For High Fever

Hi doctor, my kid 9 yrs 21 kg has been having high fever since today afternoon. Looks like viral fever. We have given ibugesic (paracetamol+ibuprofen) at 2 pm and then meftal-p (mefenamic acid) at 7.45pm. But within 4.15 hrs, the fever is back to 100 plus. Pls advise urgently. Thanx.

Hello
Dr.Ervis answering.
First step is to take the clothes off of the child. Let him with one layer or naked if possible. You could use again ibugesic 200 mg every 6-8 hours, 3 doses in 24 hours and between the medicine you could make your child a bath with warm water. Not with cold water as it will make the temp rise. When bathing with warm water take out a cup with warm water and put in a cup with cold water. so cool it down gradually.
If fever persists more than 3 days with full 24 hours send him to the hospital it could be bacterial. Check him up and possibly do a Urine analysis.
