My 1-year-old has 38.5 temperature in Egypt. Seek help?
Patient's Query
We are on holiday in egypt and my 1 year old came down with a temperature of 38.5 along with a cough, snotty nose and she's sleeping alot. Her temp started last night and dropped during the day today but has gone back up tonight to 38. What should I do? When should I seek medical help?
Answered by Dr. Kanchan Jain
A mild fever can be common in young children, often indicating a viral infection. Ensure she stays hydrated and comfortable. You may use acetaminophen or ibuprofen, following the appropriate dosage for her age, to help reduce fever and ease discomfort. If her fever persists beyond three days or worsens, or if she shows signs of difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or dehydration, please seek medical attention promptly. In a foreign country, it's always wise to consult a local pediatrician if you're uncertain.
