Suggest Medication For Fever,cold And Cough For A 1 Year Old

My 1 yr old son has developed a fever since morning.he is running a temperature of 100-101F since 11 a.m. he is very whiny and tearful and less active than normal.He had no cough or cold,Å¡uddenly he got the fever. a similar incident of fever occurred about 3 weeks back, which lasted for a day. it was preceded by a bout of loose motions for 4 days. no medication other than paracetamol was given. for the past 2 weeks he has been passing stools 2,3 times daily, every time he takes his meals. But the consistency of the stool was normal. But today he has not passed stool at all.also for the past two weeks he has been tugging at his ears at night but no major bout of crying occurred.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings
of the day

Tugging at ears along with Presence of fever could be due to eustachian tube block due to nasal Congestion.
Along with Paracetamol I would suggest Xylometazoline Pediatric nasal drops.

Take care

Best Regards
Dr Deepak
