Fever in 14 months 25 days old
My son is 14 months 25 days old. His weight was ,10 kg recently. I had sent him to neighbour house yesterday for three hours as we dint have any help for work.
Today he has fever 99.6 from 3 pm. I gave paracetamol 1.5 ml at 4:15 pm.
Fever still there. So gave 10:15 pm, paracetamol 1.5 ml. Temperature was 99.6.
At 12 pm its 99.6
At 1 pm its 99.6.
Why is it not reducing after medicine??
Usually it reduces for him in a hour then increase after 5 hours. He had got viral along with me last month too.
He ate well. But coughs very less occasionally.
Was playful. But night was low and slept.
Can i leave baby sleep at 99.6 fever by not sponging or medicine. Or i need to sponge him.
