Was it necessary to admit my child to the hospital for a recurring 103?F fever and high pus cells in her urine, even though she felt better after just one dose of antibiotics and had been taking Crocin suspension and Meftal P?
Yes, admission was a safe and necessary decision. A high fever of 103?F with pus cells in the urine points to a urinary tract infection. In children, these infections can quickly spread to the kidneys if not treated properly. While oral medicines like Crocin (paracetamol) and Meftal P (mefenamic acid) control the fever, intravenous antibiotics given in the hospital ensure the infection is cleared rapidly and safely.
