When should I consult? Can this be related to teething? It reached 40 degrees celcius yesterday.

Question

Hello, my daughter has had a fever for more than 48 hours, the tempra does not always bring her temperature down. She has no other symptoms. She cries a lot and is irritable. She is 10 months old.

Good evening, How old is your daughter? Here is a useful link: https://naitreetgrandir.com/fr/sante/naitre-grandir-sante-enfant-fievre-temperature-thermometre/ The important thing is to make the child comfortable, not necessarily to stop the fever, which is a natural defense of the body. Okay. Make sure she stays well hydrated. Watch for other symptoms and call 811 or consult if needed. Here is a link to teething: https://naitreetgrandir.com/fr/sante/naitre-grandir-sante-bebe-dent-poussee-dentaire/ Perhaps ibuprofen might be more interesting because of its anti-inflammatory effect and its slightly longer duration of effect, especially before bedtime.
