Suggest treatment for fever and cough
Patient: my baby is 1yr 7days old and last sunday i felt my baby was little bit hot..then monday morning he had cough.. i gave him him adol drops but the temp never went down then tuesday morning he had cold so i decided to bring him to the hospital..his pedia advised that it was just a normal infection/bacteria so he gave me adol syrup prospan and nasal drops...its been 3days taking those medicines but no changes at all..what shld i do?..thanks Doctor: Hi as advised and examined , your baby is having respiratory tract infection .It may be viral /bacterial .the differentiation is by activity of the child along with intake of feeds.If really looks toxic with decreased activity, it indicates bacterial infection and needs further tests and antibiotics.Otherwise, support medications are enough.Give her plenty of fluids .
