Why does fever increase at night?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Normally, core body temperature is low in the morning and increases by few degree by the evening. So, a fever that was slight during the day can easliy spike by the night. Additionally, cortisol releases as a response to infection which is believed to be a protective mechanism against over activation of inflammatory system in the body. During night time, this protective mechanism is missed due to low cortisol levels and fever increases due to activation of inflammatory system.

View allI'm wondering if my 12-year-old can take Becadexamin. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? And if it's safe, what's the recommended dose for kids that age?
Becadexamin, a combination of betamethasone, dexamethasone, and chlorpheniramine, is generally not recommended for children under 18 years due to potential side effects like growth suppression, adrenal insufficiency, and behavioral changes; however, if prescribed by a doctor, the recommended dose for a 12-year-old child would depend on the specific condition being treated and the child's weight and medical history, so consult a pediatrician

I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a chronic cough for the last 3 weeks and usually, it gets better after a couple of weeks with nebulization. Weve been using Duolin for nebulization since he has mild asthma and also using Budecort and Salbair puffs. But this time, there's no major improvement, and his X-ray came back normal. I'm wondering why this could be happening and what else we might be able to do?
Continue duolin inhaler sos for asthma..Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
