Suggest Treatment For Fever And Nasal Congestion In A Child
My 6 yr old grandson has had a low grade fever last three days (99.6-100.5). He seemed to be improving after two days of rest; took a warm bath last night...i had the room heated, dried his hair, etc. so he wouldn t get chilled. Within one hour he had total nasal congestion...unable to breathe except through his mouth. I also ran a vicks vaporizer in the bedroom....but only got some relief after i went to pharmacy and got Delsym. Could that warm bath have triggered possible sinus issues?? He has missed a lot of school with sore throats, ear infections, etc. Also just lost a tooth. Him, not me!!

Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
Antihistaminic decongestant with paracetamol to be given along with nebulization and steam inhalation during acute attack.
Improve the immunity of your baby with high protein diet and supplementation with iron and multivitamin syrups.
Avoid contact with persons suffering with Viral infections.
hope the query is answered.
thanks
