A member asked:

3 yr old dx w ear infecton ystrday took 2nd dose of xithro today. temp spikes over 105 once motrin wears off. ear infection can cause this high temp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral syndrome: 105 is Avery high temp even for a 3 yr old, my recipe for high temps is alternating Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin at recommended doses every 4 hours, push clear liquids, consider better antibiotic coverage like augmentin or at least take to pediatrician for second look or discuss on phone for next steps, this fever is too high to leave alone
