Patient: My five yo has recurring influenza symptoms after being pain free, fever free, motrin free all day. This is his 2nd round of flu like symptoms in 3 wks. He also is complaining of stomach pain, cough, conception. Randomly throws up phlegm. Thoughts on meds, RX, viral, bacterial? YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.   As your child has repeated infections, it may be due to reexposure to infection or decreased immunity. For that you can give cough syp. containing Guaifenesin and Ambroxol. He may require antibiotic like Ofloxacin and Mefenamic Acid for stomach ache after consultation. Keep him hydrated. Give syp. Paracetamol for fever.   Take care.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
