Daughter of three and half years old has high fever?


My daughter develop 40.5 fever since yesterday .
I just give plenty of water because she doesnt have any other syntoms, she eats well, and obviously at the end of this day she was less active than normal.
I don't want to take to the doctor because I hate to give her antibiotics what ever is the disease, she has been all of this three years taking antibiotics every time she had bronchitis, tonsilitis, gastroenteritis.
I just give before bed today camomille tee with propoli (3 drops) one spoon of hone and one lemon. I hope I did the right.
Question, what can be the problem? if she doesn't complain anything? only high fever? thank you :)

When a person gets a fever its because the body is fighting off an infection somewhere. I don't blame you for not wanting to take your daughter to the doctor's. I know they are always trying to shove antibiotics down our kids. But if her fever goes up higher or if it doesn't go away in two days I would take her in. It will mean that her body can't fight off the infection itself and she will need antibiotics to help with the process. Put a cold rag on her head. Make sure she drinks plenty of cold water. Don't give her heavy food or spicy food (In case she may have to throw up). Lots of rest. Sounds like you're doing everything right

I went to China before and had a fever of 39.7. My parents just gave me a lot of water, I took a lot of showers, and just slept. ( I hate going to the doctors) After 4 days, I was better.

At least call the nurse if you don't want to take her to the Dr. I don't know what "40.5" is because we use 98.6 in U.S. to indicate a normal temperature.
