My 2-year-old daughter has a fever of 103, and we've tried giving her continuous sponge baths, but it's not coming down. We also gave her 4 ml of Meftal P suspension, but then she vomited an hour later. Should I give her another dose, and when is it safe to give her paracetamol P250 again?

Since fever has just started and she has vomited just once it is best to wait and watch. You can give crocin at 6 hour interval if temperature is above 100F. Also give plenty of fluids such as ORS to avoid dehydration. If however such high fever recurs or vomiting continues or there are any other symptoms you must consult a doctor for physical examination to exclude dehydration or serious causes of fever.

View allI'm on the 11th day with chicken pox and all my blisters seemed to have scabbed over, but now I've noticed two new ones popping up. Should I be worried about this? Is it normal for new blisters to appear at this point?
It is not uncommon for new blisters to appear even after the initial ones have scabbed over. This does not necessarily mean that the chicken pox is returning. However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.

Can you get chicken pox twice?
Most people who have had chicken pox once will be immune to the disease for lifetime but reinfection may happen in persons with suppressed immunity. Also, the virus may remain inactive in the nerves and may reactivate anytime later in life.

I'm really worried about my kid. They had a fever, but the blood test came back normal, and the fever went away after using Fepanil 125, Relent, Deriphyllin, and Zynconiataximo 100 tab as advised by our pediatrician. My kid seemed to get better and started playing again, but now the fever is back. It's been a total of 8 days since the fever first started. We did a urine test, and it showed a bacterial infection now we're just waiting for the urine culture results. I'm stressed because I can't seem to find a good pediatrician in Ramamurthy Nagar, and it feels like something serious might be going on. I have twin girls, and thankfully, the other one is okay. Any advice or suggestions on what steps to take next?
