Greetings, thank you for your question.

The answer is a general description of the problem you’re having. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with us.

Based on the above information, we understand your concern about the problem you’re having. For your information, Voltaren is a medication under the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is not a common to use Voltaren rectal to treat fever in children. This is because, the first line medication is not Voltaren. It is only used after first line medication and temperature persist over 39.

Because the fever is of unknown origin, you must bring your child to the doctor to find out if there is other medical problems or infections related to the fever as your child may need to be given antibiotics which might need prescriptions. Therefore, please consult a doctor.
