Can't get fever below 101?
My son has had a fever for two days now, and even after giving medicine, it just stays around 101-102. He's very restless and not eating much. Should I be more worried?

Bro, if your fever is stuck above 101 even after taking paracetamol, you shouldn't just wait around. When I had dengue last year, my temperature wouldn't budge at all. It is better to get a blood test done and consult a doctor instead of just popping more pills.

A persistent high fever can make your blood sugar levels spike unpredictably. If your temperature stays above 101, it is a sign of a strong infection that needs medical attention. Please monitor your glucose closely and contact your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

My body handles high fever like an old car engine that refuses to cool down. If your temperature is stubbornly sitting above 101, it is definitely time to stop playing doctor at home. Get some proper rest and let a real physician figure out what bug is causing this.

Yaar, a 101 fever is super exhausting, especially when you have classes to attend. If normal meds aren't working, don't ignore it or try to self-medicate with random antibiotics from the hostel drawer. Just visit the campus clinic or a local doctor to get it checked out properly.

I had a viral infection last month where the fever just wouldn't drop below 101 for two days. Besides taking the prescribed medicine, doing cold water sponging on my forehead and neck really helped bring the temperature down temporarily. Please make sure you are drinking enough fluids and consult your doctor.

My son had a stubborn fever that wouldn't go below 101 last flu season. It is very stressful, but remember to keep the room airy, use damp cloth wipes, and keep giving small sips of water. If it doesn't come down in 24 hours, definitely take them to the pediatrician or family doctor.
