Suggest Treatment For Primary Complex For My 2 Year Old Kid
Hi Dr. Samuel, I m Ela from Philippines.My 2 year old baby was diagnosed with primary complex and now he is under treatment in a private clinic.But i am still worried because I think he is not as healthy as to his age.He only weighs 9kg.Every morning (5-7am), his lower extremities are warmer/hotter then became normal later on.He is on 2nd month of treatment as of the moment.Can you suggest some ways to prevent his having fever or hot body temperature in the morning?And what are the causes of this?Thanks.

hi Ela..
am happy to answer your problem. presence of just warm periphery is not a diagnosis of fever. fever you must document with a thermometer. if temperature more than 99 F, is called fever. so check for temperature, if it is less than 99 F, nothing much to worry. to increase the weight increase the calorie content of food by adding ghee, curd.
if you are happy with my suggestion kindly rate me.
