Mon bébé a de la fièvre

1ère Consultation

Vous avez répondu NON à toutes les questions essentielles


1. Le traitement symptomatique

Vous pouvez vous permettre de donner un traitement symptomatique de la fièvre, sans pratiquer d’investigations et sans donner d’antibiotiques. 3 Le diagnostic de présomption est celui d’une affection virale, qui doit être confirmé par l’évolution favorable spontanée sous surveillance. Il n’y a pas lieu d’hospitaliser l’enfant.

  traitement symptomatique


 Vous devez revoir l’enfant chaque jour pour vous assurer que la situation ne s’aggrave pas. Vous devez demander aux parents de consulter en urgence si un élément nouveau apparaît (altération de l’état de conscience, lésions cutanées).
