What Causes Chronic Fever In A 19 Month Old Baby?
Hi my daughter is 19 months old and her fever is not reducing since yesterday it is always between 102-101, we have given her crocin suspension 5ml but it is not working. Kindly suggest as to what we should too as I am worried as her fever is not reducing and can we give crocin every 4 hours if the fever is not reducing.

Hello,
* The cause of fever is of paramount importance as respiratory tract infection, GI involvement or else.
Crocin will work as pyrexia suppressant only and not curative. She needs a systemic evaluation to find out the cause of underlying inflammation giving fever and accordingly prescription of antibiotics and supportive care will help to be cured at earliest. So pediatrician visit is mandatory.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
