I'm really worried about this high fever that's been going onit's been reaching 103 to 104 degrees since Friday night, and there's been vomiting three times. Whenever I give medicine, the temperature drops to 101.3 but then spikes back up when it's time for the next dose. What should I do? Is there something else I can try to bring the fever down?

Ambrolite-D is a combination of an antihistamine and a decongestant, commonly used for treating cold and cough in adults. While it may be prescribed for infants in specific doses, it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation regarding the exact dosage for your 5.5-month-old son.

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else?...

The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my 2-month-old son's condition. He's got white patches all over his mouth after drinking milk. I'm not sure if this is something normal or if I need to do something about it. Could you please advise on what might be going o...

The white patches in your 2-month-old son's mouth, appearing after feeding, are likely thrush, a common fungal infection; consult your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and guidance, and in the meantime, try to clean the patches gently with a soft cloth and water, and ensure proper sterilization of pacifiers and bottle nipples.
