Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Question: Hello Dr. My Daughter is 7 months old now. For last three days she is suffering from cough (not very severe). Now from today morning she has got fever ranging 99.5 to 101.5 F Our Pediatrician has prescribed her Tminic cold syrup 2 ML (3 times a day) , then NOVAMOX 125 Syrup 3.5 ML (3 times a day) and P-125 drops 1 ML (every six hours). Is it OK to give these drops considering she is only seven months old. Further SHE WAS TREATED FOR INTUSSUCEPTION BY AIR ENEMA three months back. Is there any possibilities that these drops may effect her adversely and possibility of reoccurence of intusseception b'coz of these medicines prescribed.

Thanks for your reply. As adviced by you I start giving these medicines from today morning. But still the fever ranges from 99.5 to 101.5 F only after we give her P 125 drops the temprature falls than again it raises after some time. The fever is lasting for two days. Today What I found is her behavioral changes after giving medicines she gets irritated, feel dull compared to yesterday.My queries are 1. Whether her behaviour is due to side effects or bcoz of sickness 2. How long if the fever remains we should gets worry, I mean when she sarts recovering 3 What if the fever continue even after third day, bcoz we cannot give paracetomaol more than three days what we should do on fourth day if fever remains 4. Can we apply vicks on her chest or on feet 5. Now for intusseception was treated three months back but in discharge summery they mentioned two things which are terminal ileum shows mild mural thicknening and few slightly enlarged mesenteric nodes seen. My query what does these two means, how much these are cause of concerns, what are the precautions to be taken to avoid reoccurence of intussception. Thank you Regards

Brief Answer: See below. Detailed Answer: -behavior change is part of illness. -in case fever persist after three days get her re evaluated by pediatrician as some basic investigations will be needed lime cBC,Urine examination,Xray chest. To see for any focus of infection and treat accordingly. -avoid applying vicks,rather give steam inhalation. -discharge report shows mesentric amenities which is seen after any intestinal infection and subsides of its own. -regarding recurrence of intussusception it depends upon extent of intestinal damage if any at that time. For this your treating surgeon will guide you about prognosis. Hope this helps. Take care..

Brief Answer: hi Detailed Answer: Thanks again. I suggest you to get your child examined by doctor as physical examination is required now to see kind of rash. It could be delayed reaction to any medicine. In the meantime stop all medicines and apply calamine lotion over rashes. Hope this helps. Take care.
