So in any circumstances if we have to find out if the patient is vomiting or has other symptoms associated with fever, which can lead to a diagnosis then we can treat it effectively. But before reaching hospital, a dose of paracetamol is a must, which if a patient can take by wither a tablet of a liquid, depending upon the age of the patient it will help a lot I don’t require to know what is the temperature spike. But generally when the temperature spikes to about 104, 105 we can also recommend sponging at home before you bring the temperature because very high temperature can also lead to complications. So paracetamol to begin with some sponging and associated symptoms if they are there, then we have to take care of it before reaching the hospital.
