Suggest Better Treatment For Fever, Runny Nose And Cough Of A 6 Month Baby
Hi.. my baby is 6m and having temps, runny nose and coughing.. I just took her To her pediatrician yesterday and he said she has bronchiolitis and they could not do do anything for her She is having high fevers-meaning 101, 102. I didn't ask Her dr how long it last and was wondering if you could help. Her temp Has lasted over 5 days. She is taking ibuprofen, but seems her fever goes down and then it raises before the next Dose.
If fever is continuing since last 5days. Better to go for CBC. Followed by CXR if require. Bronchiolitis fever could not be cont more then 5days. Better to rule out bacterial cause. For a time period u can use syp levolin 2.5ml thrice a day and syp cherikoff 2.5twice a day. Use nasoclear drops to clean nose. If CBC suggests bacterial cause then start antibiotic. Pls reply with CBC report
