What Causes Recurring Fever In An Infant With Respiratory Syncytial Virus?

So my 10 month old has been diagnosed with rsv. It is day 5. And she looks like she has been getting a whole lot better. She had cold sweats the night before. And then out of nowhere around 5:30, she spiked a fever of 103.2. I gave her Motrin and a bath. The fever went away for 5 hours. And now came back at 100.7. I gave her Motrin again. Is the virus going away or is my child not beating it?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having recurring fever with respiratory syncytial virus which is due to impaired and reduced immunity of your body. Need not to worry about it. Visit general physician once and get it examined to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your physician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can take Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. You should take Meftal P tablet as well. If symptoms still persists go for blood tests and then start treatment as per that. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should get immunoglobin level tested as well.Take antipyretic drug such as paracetamol 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
