Any Suggestion For Child Suffering From Fever, Cough, Cold And Joint Pains?

My daughter is 6years old. She's been down with a fever since Thurs. her fever has been ranging from 37.9 to 38.3. She also has cough and colds. We've been giving her paracetamol and cough meds. She doesn't seem weak. She's not complaining of joint pains. Should I bring her to the hospital?

Hi, only paracetamol and anti cold medicine is not going to core her respiratory tract infection and antibiotics are needed to be given to her only then she can recover well.anti biotics like ampi-cloxacin or co-amoxi-clav or roxithro can be given to her an dsome vitamins including vitamin C should be given, but i advise you to go to a physician and let her examined physically to rule out pneumonnia and other specific condition for which special attention is required and then follow the treatment.
thanks and with regard.
