Why won't baby's fever subside despite iron deficiency treatment?

Patient's Query

My baby has fever they tested his blood and found out he has lack of iron deficiency but even after giving him calpol syrup the fever still not going away

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Iron deficiency can weaken the immune system, making it tougher for the body to fight infections, which could be why the fever persists. It's good that the blood test pinpointed this issue. In the meantime, continue giving the prescribed medication and focus on iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and fortified cereals to boost your baby's iron levels. If the fever persists or if you notice any concerning symptoms, it's best to follow up with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

Your baby's tummy issue­s with the cold aren't surprising. Colds produce mucus, and harde­ning stools are normal. Keep them hydrate­d: offer liquids, pears, and prunes to e­ase bowels. Monitor symptoms closely; if conce­rned, consult experts promptly.
