What Causes Fever To Shoot Up Every Few Hours?

I have a 1yr old...he has been running temperature for the past 2 days...its not high fever though 100 degree F. I am giving him crocin syrup (5ml) that is equivalent to tylenol. The fever comes down after the medicine is given, but shoots up again after 3-4 hrs. Please let me know how many days I can continue this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you child have symptoms of fever to shoot up every few hours which is due to impaired and reduced immunity of child. Need not to worry about it. Visit pediatrician to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your pediatrician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can give Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. Give him paracetamol as prescribed by doctor and along with that do tepid sponging in between depending on intensity of fever.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
