Hi, my dauther (8 months, 6.5kg, birthwt - 2.8kg) was suffring from some viral disease(vomating, fever and lose motions) and was having stomuch pain. blood urine and stool culture was done along with routine and CBC. Her WBC count was high along with Lymphocites - wbc- 18700 - 16500 - 18300 - 15500 in last 18 days, and lymphocites were 70 - 75- 79 - 81. she was on oral antibiotics for 5 days, than 3 days taxim 375mg BD (IV) and than Ceftrixone 650mg OD(IV) for 3days and than Ceftrixone 650mg OD(IV) + Amikacine 95mg (IV) by infusion machine for 5 days. Now she is discharged but again from last 2 days she is having fever around 100.5 - 101F, when ever she gets up after asleep. This fever goes down normally in 1-1.5 hours. Can you suggest me what to do. She was admitted in a very big and known Hospital in Bangalore for 4 days, but no one out of 4 doctors (consultants) identified the disease.
Good afternoon.!! I understand that you are going through tough time. This episode of fever from last two days could be due to a fresh infection all together or recurrence of the previous problem. Avoid pollution / smoke / bottle feeding and maintain good ventilation at your home. The weight of your child is ok for her age, so it's not a chronic process. So if persisting, it's better to visit pediatric infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and management. Thank you, have a nice day.!!!
