Acetaminophen allergy and dengue fever |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: What to give a children for dengue fever 39.8C if allergic to Acetaminophen since NSAID and aspirin are contraindicated. Dear James: First you should start with physical measures such as bathing him in lukewarm water and applying humid compresses in his forehead and armpits. I would suggest you to take him to your healthcare provider, it is almost 40C and this temperature if present for a long period of time can cause seizures, due to the allergy to nsaids, careful monitoring might be needed.
