Hi,
As per your query, your child has symptoms of viral fever while on Ibugesic Plus which is mainly due to lowered immunity of the body which causes increased susceptibility of getting infected.
Need not to worry. Usually, viral symptoms will resolve in one week on its own. I would suggest you to
1) Take light diet.
2) Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest.
3) Do warm saline gargles. Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.
4) Avoid intake of outside and hot, sharp and spicy liquids.
5) You should do tepid sponging as well if fever is of high grade.
If symptoms keep on persisting visit a general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests a s well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
