Suggest Treatment For Cough And Running Nose In Kid
my 16 month old baby is suffering from cough and running nose now she had fever since last night today morning her fever was 102 and in afternoon it was 103.Yesterday night we have given her sinarest 5ml and today morning we have given her dolopar 5ml and in the aftrnoon crocine 5 ml.what to do now.can we start antibiotics
Hello and Welcome If a similar case presented to my clinic, I would'nt start antibiotics straight away. Although the fever is high, most commonly it is due to viral infections. Keep symptomatic treatment of paracetamol and sinarest for couple of days more. You can give paracetamol 5ml 3-4 times in a day, avoid any more. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, then you must visit a child specialist and get proper prescription with dosages. Keep the baby hydrated. Maintain strict sanitation and hand hygiene. Talk to your doctor about flu vaccinations in next visit.
Hope I solved Your query. Thank you so much. Wishing your child good health.
