Baby fever is not going down after 3 day
My baby is 1 year and 2 months old. He was having cold, cough since a week and two days ago his temperature was high at 102 °c. We went to a doctor and have been giving him paracetamol 250 IP - 3ml 3 times a day, Antibiotic - 1.5 ml twice a day, brozedes - 1.5ml twice a day. Three days since he got a fever and hasn't subsided. Today at 5 PM the temperature was 98.3 and later from 7 PM onwards the temperature was around 101.3.
I am quite worried as the fever is not going down and also he had loose motion 5 times today, which was not a kind of thick liquid. Kindly advise if we can wait for one more day or go to the hospital tomorrow morning, or any other tests we should take.

Please consult a Paediatrician in your area for a physical examination.
A one year old child should not be managed by tele-consultation.

Hi dear
Your child is having high grade fever for about a week plus loose motions.
Babies so young are at risk of getting dehydrated and even if fever is high grade they are also at risk of getting a seizure.
Please it's a request that u immediately take ur child to a hospital and get him/her examined so that treatment can be started immediately.
Kindly do not wait
Take care
