What causes fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, cough and cold in child?
Patient: My daughter is aged 3 and been under the weather now for nearly two weeks it started off as flue type symptoms fever off food very tired. This lasted a week just over now has turned into a cold and cough she seems ok ish in the day it gets worse at night and she is up coughing all the time she is still off food and doesnt seem herself! Do you no what it could be? Doctor: Hello,All these symptoms are because of the flu. It may likely be viral fever or may be a bacterial infection.As these symptoms have lasted for 2 weeks, I would suggest that you get a chest x-ray, sputum examination and complete hemogram after pediatric consultation.For that, you can give syrup Ibugesic Plus 1 teaspoon, syrup Amox Clav 1 teaspoon and syrup Ambroxol D after pediatric consultation. Along with that you can give nebulization twice a day.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Shyam B. Kale
