Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query your child have symptoms of low grade fever and excessive sweating which are of viral infection. Yes you should be concerned about rise in temperature as it is a low grade actually. Your symptom of fever off and on is because your immunity is lower down because of infection. Antibiotics will not give much relief to you as yours symptoms are more like viral infection. You should take paracetamol to prevent fever and combination of decongestants and multivitamin tablet. Your symptoms will resolve in 5-7 days. Avoid touching eyes, nose again and again. If your symptoms keeps on persisting the visit physician and get vaccination done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
