My 3-year-old child has had a fever up to 102 for the past few days and was told Widal positive. I gave some medicines, but there is no relief yet. What should I do next for my child?
A fever up to 102 in a young child with a Widal-positive report requires careful evaluation, as this test alone is not always reliable for confirming typhoid. Since the fever is not improving with medicines, it is important not to delay further care. Keep your child well hydrated, continue fever control as advised, and monitor for any warning signs. You should consult a paediatrician as soon as possible for proper tests and appropriate treatment.
