Suggest Treatment For Fever In Case Of Viral Cold

My son was diagnosed with a viral cold at the docs office yesterday. He since then has reached temps as high as 104.8 and the low is about 99-100. He threw up today and I wondered if it's normal to throw up with a cold. Also, he isn't eating, he ate 1/2 of an individual container of applesauce today. He is drinking a lot of milk, some water. After he threw up his mood was much better, but his temp is still high 102.4 before bed.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have persistent fever ranging from 99-104 degree due to viral infection because your son's immunity is getting lowered down and making him prone to viral infections. I would suggest you to take combination of antiviral drug such as Famicyclovir along with anti-inflammatory drug such as Benadryl. You should give NSAID's along with paracetamol as well. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get some routine blood investigation done. You should do tepid sponging on your child's head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
