Hello, my son is 4.1 year old. Frist He had cold and fever, so I was gave him 5 days antibiotics course but again fever started. Then as per doctor said I did blood, urine and chest x-ray.

He is admitted now already 24 hours left but he s fever come again after every 4 to 5 hours. I am so worried. Am I going correct treatment?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has cold and fever which is mainly because of viral infection due to poor immunity of child. Need not to worry about it. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Till then give crocin 4 hourly. Give diet rich in fresh fruits and warm saline gargles recommended. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can give that as well. Give child proper rest without any discomfort. Give water after every few mins.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
