Suggest Remedy For Severe Fever And Cough In A Child

Take him to the emergency if fever is still there
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
Sorry for the delayed reply.I can understand your concern.
If fever is still there even after giving 8 ml of Crocin and tepid sponging or if the child is very irritable and coughing persistently take him to the emergency.
If you have mefenemic acid (meftal p) syrup you can give it,as it is more potent than crocin (paracetamol) for bringing down the temperature.
The dose of mefenemic acid is 6-8 mg/kg 3 times a day.Each 5 ml contains 100 mg so for your baby 5 ml will be sufficient.
I would also like to give antibiotic like azithromycin,bronchodilator like salbutamol (asthalin/asthalinmbrodil s) and antiallergic like cetrizine for better relief.
All these are prescription medicines,so please get it prescribed by a physician.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Regards
