Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your son's history and would like to make suggestions as follows:
1. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him
paracetamol for
fever (only to be taken for temperature more than 101 F) and a
cough syrup containing an
chlorpheniramine and decongestant for 3-5 days.
2. As your doctor has examined your baby, I would suggest you to complete the antibiotics as suggested by him, although most commonly such infections are viral and antibiotics do not help much.
3. Tongue sticking out all the time may be due to nose obstruction and he may have to breathe through mouth. I would additionally suggest saline nasal drops frequently to improve nose obstruction. I don't think of anything serious in tongue sticking out.
4. Please assure continued breast feeding and adequate fluids to ensure hydration. It will aid the recovery.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
