My husband is suffering from viral fever from past 6 days. he has been given antibiotics and paracetemol tablets. Doctor has asked us to wait another 2 days and he says fever will come down. Now his temperature is 40degree C. He is diabetic also. I want to know how can i reduce his temperature.
Hi, From history it seems that in-spite of antibiotic treatment temperature persisted, he requires some investigations to know the cause of having temperature. Go for routine urine check up, Complete blood checking for TC, DC, platelet count, Tidal test etc. After all reports go for treatment accordingly.Meanwhile, to reduce fever, give paracetamol or Ibuprofen 400 mg clock wise. Important is to give plenty of water, liquids and keep him well HY Chat Doctor. Give him light diet. Ok and take care.
