I'm really concerned about my baby. A few days back, he had yellow fluid coming from his eyes and they seemed watery. The doctor suggested we use ciplox eye drops for five days, which cleared up the fluid, but now he's blinking a lot like his eyes are dry and he keeps rubbing them. I even tried massaging to open the blocked duct, and while the redness and fluid went away, his gaze seems off, like his vision might be blurry. And he also had a fever last week, which was relieved with macpod syrup, but his eye issue is still there. What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old. He caught a cold a couple of days ago and then developed a severe dry cough that same night. Yesterday, his breathing seemed forced; he hardly ate anything all day and drank only a few sips of water. I nebulized him eight times, and today it seems like his breathing's a bit better. Im giving him Bro Zedex syrup and Alex Junior. The last time he had something like this, the doctor had to give him an aminophylline injection followed by nebulization. Do you think just using the nebulization will help this time, and will his condition improve? I'm really worried.

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying bacterial or viral infection and so, duration of fever depends on that particular causative organism. Usually, most fevers usually go away in 1 to 3 days in adults.
