Hi there i have a 21 month old daughter who is currentl suffering from a cold, tgis evening however she has a very high fever and what i think is a heart rate of 180, the heart rate is based on her while she sleeps. Is this a normal heart rate for a child with a fever?
Your daughter is mostly suffering from viral fever as your history suggests, and heart rate increases in case of infection not up to 180 as you have said but up to 140-150. For this you have to give her syrup IFIC 50 mg/5 ml twice daily or syrup co-amoxiclav 5 ml thrice daily with syrup cetirizine or syrup pheniramine 5 ml twice daily for common cold with syrup ibugesic-plus or syrup Coquitlam 5 ml thrice daily for fever. Do cold sponging as it will help in reducing her temperature.
