Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. Your child is suffering from a respiratory tract infection. Most of the times it is caused by a virus. It also has an allergic component which causes runny nose for which antiallergics like T-minic are given. You have not mentioned the weight of the child which would have helped me in determining the right dose for your child. Anyway, T-minic can be given twice of thrice a day. For the fever, please give her cold sponging or paracetamol suspension (available in brandnames like crocin, calpol etc. which comes in dose of 120 mg/5ml) at dose of 15 mg/kg/dose - please determine the dose accordingly. For a little child it is best not to self medicate and rather do it under the guidance of your paediatrician.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
