What Causes Fever And Runny Noses In A 4 Year Old?
Hi, my 4 yr old son has experienced fever, tiredness,runny nose and watery eyes for the past 1-2 days. Earlier today he looked to have dark circles around his eyes however the skin has now become quite red. I have been giving him panadol and neurofen intimitantly. I am right to think he is experiencing cold or flu symptoms? He is generally a healthy, active boy with a weight of approx 18kg.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having viral infection giving all these symptoms.
It requires symptomatic treatment to get relief.
Within 2-3 days he will be alright.
Along with pain and fever reducing medicine give some decongestant syrup like Wikoryl for running nose and watery eyes.
Give him complete rest.
Ok and take care.
