What Causes Fever, Cough And Cold?
Question: My son is 33 month old he is started going to nursery school but for last one month he is suffering from fever after a gap of ten days this the 3rd time he is suffering from fever, he is also suffering from cold and cough. His doctor has prescribed Pedicool Plus & etolin-pd after medication he recover but my question is the fever is reoccurring frequently anything serious.
Brief Answer:
Get him clinically evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Most commonly fevers occur due to viral cause but repeated episodes after ten days interval indeed seems concerning. You would need to get him evaluated. His tonsils could be enlarged and he might be getting episodes of recurrent tonsillitis. If that is the case you might still need to wait and watch. Unless the number of episodes is much you need not go for tonsillectomy since the tonsils gradually regress in size.
Let me know if I could help further.
