Question
I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who's been having a fever around 101 that keeps coming back every 8 hours. It's been going on for 5 days now, but there aren't any other symptoms like a cough, sneezing, or a rash. I tried giving Ibuprofen, and it seems to help, but I'm just not sure if I should be doing something else. Could you give me some advice?

A heart rate of 140 at rest and 190-202 during stress is concerning.
This could indicate:
- Tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate)
- Anxiety or stress-related issues
- Underlying heart conditions (e.g., arrhythmias)
Consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation.
Treatment may involve medications (e.g., beta blockers) or lifestyle changes.
Regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial to prevent potential complications.
