What should I do if my 5-year-old son's fever remains constantly high between 103 and 104 degrees, even after giving him Crocin as needed and trying continuous sponging?
First, please ensure the Crocin (paracetamol) dose is correct for his current weight, as under-dosing is common. Keep using lukewarm water for sponging, not cold water, and ensure he drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Since the fever remains high between 103 and 104?F despite these efforts, please contact his pediatrician or visit a clinic promptly for a proper evaluation. Seek immediate medical attention if he becomes unusually lethargic, has difficulty breathing, or cannot keep fluids down.
