Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can A Child Be Helped Who Is Suffering From Sore Throat, Teeth Inflammation, Fevers?
my daughter is running fevers 101 approximate every about 5 hours. Since yesterday. she has 3 teeth that have inflammation above and behind. Called the Dentist she is on 250 mg of Amoxocillian . She also is complaining of a sore throat along w her jaw hurts a little at times. She also lost a tooth on opposite side of her mouth yesterday. I thought this may be her teeth but the sore throat started today and it looks red. Ive also been giving her ibuprofen every 6 hours because fevers come back. When fevers come back before the six hours is up I was told by pharmacist give one teaspoon of Tylenol until its time for ibuprofen. She is 9 years old 68 pounds ibuprofen im giving 2 and a half teaspoons as stated on ibuprofen so the one teaspoon made no sense for Tylenol im assuming he is making sure liver kidneys not being over medicated. I just cant figure out whats wrong w her dentist apt is for Monday but now I wonder if she needs to see a pediatrician due to other symptoms...hope you can help!!
hello. I assume you must be giving amoxicillin 250 mg twice per day. it would be better to give amoxicillin+ clavulanic acid combination (augmentin) in a dose of 375mg twice a day if her wight is near 30 kg.ibuprofen and paracetamol is allright to give.but also give rabeprazole 20 mg (rablet) once at bed time with water to combate side effects (acidity) of above drugs. slight loose motion may occure with amoxy+CA, need not to worry for that but give plenty of fluids orally with healthy vitanins enriched diet.
