How To Cure Bad Cold,head Ache,cough And Fever ?
Hi, My name is Eva and my son who is 6 and 1/2 years old started to have fevers on the 8th of January 2014. He had a bad cough, headache the first day, body aches and and according to the doctor his chest was not clear, so he gave him antibiotics (penicillin). By Saturday his fever was gone although he started to have runny nose and his cough got worse. Today his fever is back I check it quite often but it is all over the map. It is between 37.7C-38.4C. I do not understand what is going on, I think it is unusual. Thank you for you time.

Hi,
I have gone through your history and I can understand your anxiousness regarding your son. Don't worry the history is suggesting of some infection in the respiratory tract for which they have given the antibiotic.
If the temp is more than 37 C please put cloth dipped in cold water over the forehead it will bring down the temp.
You can give him tab to reduce the fever (Antipyretics), please consult your doctor and get tablets to reduce the fever.
Don't worry it looks like a viral fever which will come down by itself.Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your sons health.
Thank you
