Second day with fever (102.5 yesterday, 99.5 today). 9 year old child has no appetite, very lethargic, just wants to lay in bed. Stomach pain, no nausea, no vomiting. Has just started shaking like body tremors and temp is 99.2. Have been giving childrens motrin rotated with acetaminophen...suggestions?
Good evening.!! Your nine-year-old child most probably has a viral infection or malaria or a urinary tract infection. Continue paracetamol for fever control. ORS solution frequently as accepted, since your child has low appetite and may not accept solids. If the problem is persisting, can get checked with CBP, CUE and Peripheral smear for malarial parasite. Thank you, have a nice day.!!!
