Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Fever and mild wheezing is usually viral and may last for 5 days.
Give medicines as suggested
Ensure minimum 6 times urine output in a day.
Antibiotics are not usually needed.
But if fever persists, recheck for throat or chest infection
Wishing your child good health
Regards
Dr Arun
