Fever of around 101- 102 on and off
Hello doctor,
Kindly help.
My son had a fever of 101-102 for 24 hours treated with paracetamol and then it subsidised for 2 days. Again since yesterday night, he has got a fever.
I've given paracetamol. He just says headache other than fever and nothing else. His appetite has reduced. Initially i thought sun stroke and gave him lot of fluids. But again fever repeated. So can this be malaria by any chance.
Kindly help.

Any fever presenting for more than 3-5 days need to evaluated. Also if the child looks dull and having reduced appetite needs attention.
Malaria is also a possibility.
