I had a son with a PDD diagnosis second axis Asperger s syndrome. He s 16 yrs of age, generally health. He was dx with asthma exacerbated by cold or influenza. He is currently taking Zyrtec for his seasonal allergies. Today he now has a high fiver, heart palpitations, nausea and not himself. He is very lethargic, yet generally stays up very late on the weekends. Today he went to be before 1130 p.m. The last time his fever spiked to 105 he began having seizures. I do not want an unnecessary trip to the emergency room. Please advise.
Hi thanks for your query. The symptoms in your child are more likely to be a "non-specific lower respiratory infection".it can be precipitated witChatDoctormon cold and asthma.I strongly recommend antibiotics like tab levofloxacin 400 mg bid for 5 days, along with tab overdone and paracetamol. This should clear the infection and normalize his general condition. Consult a chest physician for further queries. Thank you
