2-3 days or >102.5: Prolonged fever without a break for >2 days should prompt a call to your physician, and fever greater than 102.5 should also prompt a call.  If the patient is sluggish or confused, take them to the emergency room (skip your doctor's office, as they will just send you on).  However, if there are signs of pneumonia (productive cough with fever) or other bacterial infection - go in right away.

Accepted Answer

Fainting versus ????: I am surprised to see this question. I would hope that you got this man into a medical facility for evaluation and observation.

First, we need to understand why the fever
second, did this gentleman injure himself in the fall?
Third, has this ever happened to him before?
Fourth, is he on any medications?

This worries me. If not already done so please get this man into health care asap.

Question 10

doctors can you tell me how often should aconite be given when there's a fever present with my 2yr old?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't use it: If treating a fever the more important question is what is causing it, and how uncomfortable is the child. If  the child has an uncomplicated viral infection we are focused on treating comfort. Aconite is a toxin, which means either it is bad for the child's health, or it means that it is homeopathic dose and there isn't any aconite left in preparation. I would recommend Acetaminophen if needed.
