Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Ear Ache In A Child
For the last five days, my four year-old has had what seems like a bad head cold but with the addition of blood-shot eyes that have been oozing enough puss to glue his eyes shut each morning and complaining of a sore throat. Now he has woken up crying from pain in his ear unable to sleep. I started treating him with today with Tylenol cough and cold medicine today. Is this enough? I am concerned, it s 2 am and he has been crying for an hour from his discomfort. Should I take him to a doctor

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having acute upper respiratory tract infection with muco-purulant conjunctivitis.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Put antibiotic eye drops every 2-3 houly after proper cleaning eyes.
For pain and congestion give some analgesic, decongestant syrup.
Ok and take care.
