Suggest Remedy For Fever And Yellowish Discharge From Eyes

My one year old has a fever, yellowish,sticky discharge from eyes and is twitching in his sleep which makes him wake up. Does he have pink eye? His lids are slightly swollen, but eyes are somewhat clear. He also has a cold. Is there anything I can do at home to make him feel better?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Conjunctivitis and fever are commonly observed in adenoviral infection. If such a patient comes to me in my clinic I would prescribe:
-wash eyes with tea water;
- Ciprofloxacin drops 1 drop 6 times every 2 hours for 3 days,then 1 drop 4 times for 3 days;
- Paracetamol 10-15 mg/kg/dose along with tepid sponging can be used for fever up to 100F;
-Zincovit syrup 5 ml daily for boosting immunity can be given for 1 month;
-Keep baby hydrated with plenty of water,fresh juices.
Since this a prescription-based medicine I would suggest you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis if fever will more than 3 days.
