Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of persistent fever and blocked nose which is due to persistence of infection leading to respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician first once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Give full rest to your child with sound sleep. You should do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Take cough expectorants. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. Give soft foods to child to avoid irritation to the throat. You should take steam inhalation. Get blood test done to detect level of infection. You can give Meftal P to child for fever.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
