Child With High Fever, Chills. No Help From Crocin Tablet And Meftal Syrup. Should I Repeat The Medicine?
my son is 6years (17.5 kgs)old and has had running nose and cough since 1 week. he also had slight fever for 3 days, but there was no fever from past 3 days. but since today midnight he has very high fever and chills. I gave him crocin half tablet at 12:30 and gave 5 ml of meftal at 2:30, its 4 am now and the fever has not come down. should I repeat another dose crocin. is the meftal dosage correct. I am constantly sponging his body.
The history suggests that your little boy is having a bacterial infection involving the respiratory system. Fever and cough for a week and progressing since last three days requires a consultation with a pediatrician at the earliest. You may give him repeat crocin but do take him and follow pediatrician's instructions. It might require a course of antibiotics. Please do not worry, he will be well soon.
