A doctor can attempt a solution to a bacterial issue, but not a viral one. A virus has to run its course while the body fights it--and a fever is a sign of the struggle to eliminate the virus. Whatever the fever's origins, keeping the child's body temperature below 105'F is essential if you want the child to survive. Clearly Bonzo shouldn't be trusted with the care of any child. He isn't responsible enough. 105 is not considered deadly for a child, however, for an adult it is. I once had a temp of 105 when I was 31 yrs old. I had gotten Malaria and it was so uncommon in the USA that the hospital couldnt figger it out (apparently you have to stain the blood to see the critters). I had gotten the Malaria in Belize where they just wouldnt spray with DDT. A week later, I was back in the USA and was getting sicker every day but the doctors rejected any ideas of tropical disease because they thought I had been in normal tourist places. I was too out of it to tell em I'd been in the jungle. Fortunately, with the civilian doctors not able to do anything and me being totally out of it in delirium, an army doctor who had just gotten back from Panama happened to walk past looked me over and yelled "This man has Malaria for Gods sake". It is amazing how fast the Chloroquine knocks out the little buggers. When I finally went back to work, people told me I looked like a cadaver. |

Failure to take a child to a medical professional if it has that level of body temperature is simply Child Neglect, and warrants removal of parental rights, and/ or imprisonment for the commission of that crime.
