What Is The Effective Medication For Fever With Chills?
My 8 year old boy woke up in the night and said he felt sick. I checked his temperature as he felt very hot to touch. It was 39. He was sick then went to sleep. He was very restless and extremely hot but kept on saying he was cold and is shivering. This has continued on and off all through the night and day. He is now also starting to get a very runny nose. He wants to go to sleep and insists on pulling the duvet right over him even though his temerature is now 38. He has had paracetomel every 4 hours or so during the illness. What shall i do for the best results to help him feel comfortable? Shall i insist he has no duvet?

Hi,
It seems that he might be having viral infection giving rise high fever, running nose, cold and chills.
Give him paracetamol medicine as needed.
Give him some decongestant medicine as well.
Give plenty of water and keep him well hydrated.
Give him light diet.
Ok and take care.
