Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Majority of the respiratory infection in children are viral in origin.
They are self limiting.
They only require symptomatic treatment.
Antibiotics are generally not recommended.
It would be advisable if you could only either give Paracetamol or Meftal.

Take CAre
