Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is having mild fever since last 3 days 100.3 * F, it is increasing today to 100.9* F. He has calf and cold. He is falling sick very frequently. Recently we were relocated from Mumbai to Kolkata is that the reason or it is general Viral infection
hi, most probably your child is suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. For fever you can give paracetamol syrup 15 milligram per kg 3 times a day and for cough you can give cough syrup like chericof 5 ml 3 times a day. you have to take some precautions like avoid cold water, avoid cold temperature, use warm clothes. give soft diet to child. A fever persists, respiratory distress occurs, decreased feeding, or vomiting occurs then you should get the child examined by doctor as antibiotic needs to be given. Take care.
