My 3 year old gets cyclical fevers every 3 to 4 weeks. Fever ranges from 100 to 104 and lasts 4 to 5 days. With this he complains of belly aches and passes light green stool. He only wants milk during these episodes and eats very little. My concern is abdominal pain and green stool. Can it be ibuprofen every 6 hrs?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Ibuprofen do not serve the purpose. Your child needs an antidiarrheal like ofloxacin with ornidazole and an anti-spasmodic like Cyclops syrup. Paracetamol 15 mg/kg 3-4 times daily along with tepid sponging will reduce fever. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
