Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have high fever since few hours which could be due to viral infection due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with paracetamol every 4 hourly. Maintain hydration of child well. Give curd in diet as that will act as probiotic. Start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration. Avoid giving large meals to child and give her small but frequent meals. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should give child rest properly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
