Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

When you child had fever a week back then was any other medicine other than Crocin given? Probably no cough syrup/decongestant medicine was given. I suggest that you give him a cough syrup like Corex/Lupihist/Recofast 1.5 ml. three times a day and consult your doctor. A clinical examination is required to rule out any other complication of the fever and cold which the child had a week back.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your child an early recovery.

Regards,

hello friends
i am happy to answer your query
your baby is an infant so please do not even try to give him medicines without any prescription....symptoms you mentioned suggests of severe throat infection along with chest infection... when a patient with similar symptoms comes to me i usually examine his bronchial sounds and then i start with antibiotics , antiallergics and also anti pyeretic most commonly crocin as you said..your baby if greatly choking and blocked with nose you should visit a pediatrician and ask him to give him steam therapy to melt out the congestion inside and also start the treatment immediately....what you can do at home is if he is having high fever give him cold sponges and also please do not try to b athe your baby for next 10-15 days...
hope it helps...
