hi
Thanks for your query
i can feel your concerns
i advise you to continue calpol and ibuprufen alternatively fo fever
you can give these medicines 6 hourly
tapid water sponging is also helpful
give him green tea and honey
steam inhalation also improve cough
avoid cold and soft drinks
give him plenty of fluids
if his fever not settled ,then he may need a course of antibiotic as children ususally get a superimposed bacterial infection
wishing him a speedy recovery
Hope i have ansewered your query
i am available for your help

Hi,
As 5 days passed and still temperature continued, requires one course of antibiotic as it seems to be bacterial infection.
It is better to consult your doctor and he will decide which antibiotic to be given.
There is a chance of having pneumonia.
Give Calpol for fever as and when required.
Give enough water.
Ok and take care.
