Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my kid is 6.5 years and is suffering cough for last 2 days. I have given him Ambrodil S 3 doses (5 ml ech) yesterday but he seems to cough more. He had some temperature also last day which subsided after giving Calpol 250 Mg.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough and fever which is mainly because of upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry about it. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. If cough is exaggerating go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test of child. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Till then give crocin 4 hrly. Give water after every few mins.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
