A member asked:
My son has a fever of over 40 the past 3days! no medicine is breaking it! should i go to the er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Has he been seen & placed on meds or only given fever meds at home ? If the later, I would have him seen. If he has been seen recently & placed on abx it sometimes takes a while for them to work.
