A fever this high in a baby can be serious. If the doctor suggested hospital admission, it is best to follow that advice. Children can deteriorate quickly and early treatment in hospital helps control infection and dehydration.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION (CUE) Test

I have a slit in my uterus, and I can see two flaps of flesh coming out of it. The slit is now healing quickly. However, I have been having a continuous fever for the last three days. I visited a doctor who examined my blood report and said I have a bacterial infection.

Hi, I am 35 years old and attaching my report for review. Could you please let me know if there is anything to be concerned about? I noticed that my Red Cell Distribution Width is slightly above the normal range and wanted to understand if this is something to worry about.
