Hi All,

DD experienced high fever of 39.5 since Tuesday
got up to 40.7 the night before

I went to to the docs but he didnt say much as I need to see him again this Saturday after the urine sample i had to give him gets tested.

He suspects it might be urinary tract infection.

I have given her panadol and nurofen (only nurofen seems to work though)

Currently she is at 37.5 (which is still high but better than before)

My question is what adverse effect does it have on a child with such a high fever for 3 days! and should i have taken her to the hospital instead of the doctors?

Im getting so panicky but i dont want her to go to the hospital as i am scared it will do her more harm than good (with all the other viruses floating around).

Also, does UTI cause high fevers?

Thanks!
