My daughter's been dealing with cough, cold, and fever since yesterday morning, and her fever spikes up to 101 degrees. When we give her Dolo or Ibugesic syrup, the fever drops but comes back after about 6 hours. She also experiences chills before the fever returns. We've been giving her Timnic for the cold and Tycklix for the cough. Can you tell me how long it might take for her to stabilize? Should we be thinking about antibiotics now? Just last week, she had stomach issues and fever, and was on Rantac and Azee syrup for that. What should we do?

Considering the symptoms of persistent fever with chills, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. Antibiotics may be considered if there are signs of a bacterial infection, such as prolonged fever or worsening symptoms. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. In the meantime, continue with the current medications for cold and cough as directed. If the fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

Question

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?

Question

I'm really worried about my daughter Aradhya. She's been getting a fever two or three times every month for the last couple of months. We've seen different pediatricians each time, but they always end up prescribing antibiotics and antipyretics. The meds usually help for a bit, but then a month or two later, the fever's back. Recently, one suggested Septilin syrup, saying her immune system might be weak. Even after ten days on it, she got a fever again. Im feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Any advice?

Question

I'm really worried about my 3-and-a-half-year-old girl who's been having a dry cough for a week. Luckily, there's no fever or cold, but now there's this gur gur sound coming from her chest. Should I give her an expectorant or try nebulization? We have a prescription for Alex Jr. from the doctor, but I'm unsure if I should keep using it. It's tough to get to the hospital right now because of the lockdown and distance. What should I do?
