Hello my younger sister is 8 years old, she weighs about 70 pounds, she has been having high fevers up to 103 for al most 3 days now, we took her to her primary care doctor and she saw the inside of her ear red, but my sister doesn t complain about any ear pain. She received an antibiotic for an ear infection the high fevers only go away with Advil for children which is an ibuprofen it only takes the fever away for the 6 hours and then she starts getting high fevers again. The doctor also gave her a cough medicine to help with the congested nose, is it normal her whole body is hot and her feet are very cold? Is a 3 day fever normal? What should we do? I repeat she doesn t complain about any ear pain what could be wrong?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. You should be worried but not too much. It seems she has viral infection; the fever can be till 5-6 days in this case. Another causes-infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis, UTI infection. I suggest you to perform blood and urine tests. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your sister speedy recovery and good health.
