Suggest Treatment For Fever, Sneezing And Cough In A Toddler
Question: Hello Doctor,
I have a daughter aged 2 yrs 1 mnth. From last evening, she has running fever of 101 degree with sneezing and cough (little). We have administered Crocin syrup (5 ml) 2 times in 4 hours gap and also Allegra syrup (5 ml) twice daily as previously prescribed by the her doctor.
Now her fever is not coming down entirely and she is doing some restlessness. Her doctor is also not available today. We have Azithral 100 syrup. In previous illness, we had given her Azithral 100 and that worked great.
This time, however, we are confused that we should give her Azithral 100 this time also or not.
Please suggest and help.
