My son started with a low grade temp last night of 100.8, gave tylenol , He woke up this morning with a temp again , gave him Ibprohen at 5:30pm, he was at daycare a slepted for 4 hours got him home and his temp was 103.5. so I gave him some Ibprophen....it seemed to help but now about 54 hrs into the ibprohen his temp is back over 103 so I gave him some tylenol..... Was just wondering when or if I should bring him in to see someone..He isnt eating but I can get him to drink ..
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your son is having high temperature with swing of temperature is not good on the health of your son. If the temp is going above 103 it may lead to febrile convulsions, be careful regarding this. Even after giving tab Ibuprofen if the temp is not coming down you have to give cold tepid sponging. You can give Metal P, whenever the temp is above 100. As he is having fever for more than 4 days, he may require lab investigation. I would suggest you to take your son to your pediatrician for complete evaluation. Thank you.
