Does Rhinathoil Help In Treating High Fever In A Child?
Hi Doctor, My daughter is 4 years and weighs about 15.3kg. She has a 38 degree celsius fever, cough and running nose with quite a lot of mucus. There doesn t seem to be much phlegm. Should I give her Rhinathoil or Dexchlorpheniramine? I also have Zyrtec and Mucosolvan in my medicine cabinet. I am not sure which medicines would help her best. Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be viral infection and no need to treat this condition that much vigorously but this can only taken care for high grade fever, and hydration, at the most this can be treated with the medicine given below,
1) Acetaminophen for high grade fever
2) Levocetirizine for allergic condition (Running nose, cough )
hope this information helps, take care,
