Suggest Treatment For Fever In Baby

Hi, my 6 1/2 month son had a fever and 1 convulsion on 24 august. He was immediately put on frisium 1/2 tablet once in d night and then after 12 hours d other half. We had given his urine and blood for testing and it showed that he had a urine infection. The doctor prescribed 4 ml of zifi 50 to be given to him 2 times a days for 5 days. The doctor had also asked me to do his chest xray. The conclusion mentioned in d report is bilateral basal patchy consolidation seen what does that mean?? I chked with d doctor and she said it is borderline pneumonia. She has asked me to continue zifi 50 4 ml 2 times a day and respira 1.5 ml 3 times a day for 7 days. Can u tell me if d diagnosis and the medication given is correct.

Hi

welcome to HealthCareMagic

First coming to last question ,
by description provided it seems to be a case of Acute respiratory infection with wheeze with Febrile seizure with possible Urinary tract infection , but difficult to comment without examination and detailed history like duration of seizure, type of seizure, whether self aborted or not, is there respiratory distress , if there is significant respiratory distress seizure may be due to hypoxia .Regarding medicines given , treating doctor decides medicines considering a number of factors, he or she is right person to decide about them.
2. Bilateral basal patchy consolidation means patchy areas of consolidation in lower lobes of both lung . ( It is suggestive of pneumonia )
Based on little information available , I have tried to answer your question to best possible , but your primary physician may be in a better condition to elaborate more

thanks
