My 5 Year Old Daughter Is Having Throat Pain And
Question: My 5 year old daughter is having throat pain and have mild running nose. She is also reporting ear pain once in a while from today morning. Can you please suggest some medicine.
Brief Answer:
Suggestions on upper respiratory tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello..
thank you for asking me a direct query.
This seems to be a simple upper respiratory tract infection.
As of now you can give Syrup Benadryl Cough formula 5ml thrice a day for 3 days.
Paracetamol at appropriate dose for fever and pain.
But if she develops high grade fever then it could be otitis media and might warrant an antibiotic like Amoxicillin which is a prescription drug.
Best regards - Dr Sumanth Amperayani
