Suggest Treatment For Cough,high Fever And Conjunctivitis
My 2 1/2 year old son has a dry tickly cough, a blocked nose and a temperature. Last night he woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever, conjunctivitis and a nose bleed. I have been keeping him cool and hydrated and given him calpol and childs cough syrup. could there be an underlying problem/ illness that i should be worried about?
The most probable disease in this case is an upper respiratory tract infection which is mostly viral caused. His temperature should be kept normal by giving paracetamol(which you are already giving) and by cold sponging, if needed. other symptomatic treatments such as antihistamine syrups relieve the other symptoms such as throat tickle,congestion and itching eyes. good hydration and maximum rest is recommended, but if any new symptoms like vomiting, breathing difficulty ,loose motions etc start, immediate medical attention must be seeked
