Suggest A Medicine For Child S Fever, Cold And Cough
sir, for past four days i had severe cough,cold and fever and after taking asthiral, cetrzine, dolo650 and ambrolite-d syrup now i recovered. But my child aged 3.9yrs immediately got affected today with same symptoms as i had.

Please Advise as we ae in a holiday trip to Goa, I can t meet my pediatrician immediately.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly. Your child may not require antibiotics at all. I suggest not to use Novamox as its an antibiotic and absolutely no additonal antibiotics like Azithromycin. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
