My 4yr old son has had a fever last night, this morning, and again tonight. He has no other symptoms and seems fine during the day. When I checked him last he had a fever of 102.2 F. I gave him Ibuprofen last night and it came back this morning, so I gave him another dose and it s been gone until this evening. What should I do?
Hello dear! I can understand your concern. In the absence of other symptoms as you said, it can be a viral infection and will settle in 2-3 days. If otherwise he is fine in between the febrile episodes then I think you don't need to rush towards a doctor. I would like you to give him paracetamol in place of ibuprofen for fever(according to the weight). Ibuprofen has its own side effects and preferably should not be given to kids without prescription. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health :-)
