Hi my 2 yo child had fever ranging 39.5 to 40 degrees and paracetamol (so far given 2 rounds, 6 hr apart doesn't bring the temp down)

We are thinking if this continues until the 3rd paracetamol round and still the same we want to bring her to a hospital just in case. Meanwhile we are sponging her with room temp wet handkerchief.
Anyone done that? Does private hospital allow admission for high fever? Hope to claim insurance but need to be admitted.

Anyone have experience with avisena hospital?

Can, but you must contain his/her body temperature. Give immediate shower. Then give adol suppository 125mg. Every 4 hours dont wait temperature rise up. Avoid seizure. and brain damage is key. Keep temperature normal by medicine throughout the fever period.

Wow. Sorry to intrude, but didnt know young kids can get sawan if body temp too high. Until what age then it wont affect them? 7?
