A member asked:

My child has had a high temperature for 24hours. it comes down with ibuprofen but goes traight back up once it has worn off. what should we do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You decide: This is quite common in kids in even minor viral illnesses. If the kid is able to keep up with fluid needs (makes pee every 6-8 hrs) and plays some this can probably be monitored at home. If s/he isn't drinking well & looks bad, take them in to be evaluated. If the whole thing spooks you go in.
