Hello doctor. My niece is 5 years old. She is running through fever. It goes up to 103-104 F. When I give her colpol syrup it comes down. Again after around 4-4.5 hours her body temperature starts rising. Her doctor has predicted typhoid based on symptoms, not sure yet as her test reports are due. My query is that her temperature starts rising every 4-4.5 hours and comes down only on giving colpol but colpol shouldn t be given more than 4 times every 24 hours. If I don t give the syrup the fever doesn t come down, and of I give it every time it exceeds the 4 times limit. What should I do?? How should i control her fever?? Urgent please.
