What is the recommended clinical management for a pediatric patient with a history of recent upper respiratory symptoms and acute irritability, who presents with a persistent fever over 101?F that is unresponsive to paracetamol and tepid sponging?

Asked by Male, 1 · 29 days ago

Because his fever of over 101?F is not responding to paracetamol and he is irritable after a recent cold, the safest next step is to have him evaluated by a doctor promptly. Persistent fever and irritability in a one-year-old can sometimes indicate a secondary infection, such as an ear infection, which requires a professional physical exam. Please continue offering him small, frequent sips of fluids to keep him hydrated while you arrange for him to be seen by a healthcare provider.
