Fever - Please do not make it an emergency !
Many parents do not give any antipyretic to their child before check up.
It is a misconception, as there's more risk for seizures or encephalopathy, and fever makes the child more cranky and even uncooperative for examination.
So whenever next time your child has fever: 1. Give him paracetamol 15 mg per kg (maximum 500mg)
2. Give him glucose water to sip
3. Can do a LUKE WARM water sponging under the fan.
This will make child comfortable and he allows doctor to check him up well.
So, this will increase the accuracy of treatment...
