Situation:
A patient with 105 degree fever was not responding to the paracetamol.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was IM paracetamol given?
Lesson: Make sure to remember that when the fever is greater than 105 degree, giving only fever medicines will not work. The answer is tap water sponging to lower the temperature.
