Suggest treatment for fever and cold in a child
Patient: my daughter 2yr 9month was suffering from fever ..twice the fever came to be 102, so we gave crocin syrup but the temp only fall down to 100.4 only. then after sometime i cghnaged to Meftal - p and the temp fall down to 98.4 and since then it has been 10hrs or so the temp didnt came up....Please suggest did i took the right decesion. She was also having cold, so i have gave her Honeytus sysrup and had applied Vicks on her chest and throat, back. I am finding her that she is fine today. (Please note - Meftal - P since given has been 10hrs till now, and no fever) Doctor: Hi,You are on right line of treatment.It seems that she might be having viral fever.Continue giving Crocin or Meftal-p syrup as and when required for fever.But important is to give her plenty of water and liquids and keep her well hydrated so that there will be enough perspiration to bring fever down after giving medicine for fever.Ok and take care.
