Hi, my 8 year old son got sick some 15 days ago with fever running up to 104 F but his doctor didn t prescribe any medicine accept some paracetamol, his fever subsided in about 7 days but ever since then he has been having a slight fever every evening 99.5F which becomes normal by the time he goes off to sleep i.e 10pm his TLC DLC blood count is a little elevated to which his doctor says may be due to some infection from the last fever still present in his body, I m worried pls help
Your doctor might be right, had your son any symptoms of burning micturition or cough or any rashes or any abdominal pain etc. if yes antibiotics with help of doctor might help if not then a viral fever may take little longer to subside and don't have to worry if fever persist for more than 14 days get blood test done again and urine test also
