My 9mo daughter’s viral fever (also up to 39 deg) took 4 days to come down with paracetamol round the clock, and ibuprofen once, plus the tepid sponging. Went to the polyclinic on day 4 of the fever and she had a blood test and urine test done. After the fever settled, she had a viral rash for a couple of days, then she recovered.
The temperature is very high and worrying. Should go immediately for more detailed checking.
Did u sponge him yet?
Should go
