Suggest Remedy For Fever, Eye And Ear Infection, Watery Eyes In Children

My 4 year old has had about a 103 fever for the last 2 days. It began with what her pediatrician was the onset of eye and ear infection on Thursday (4 days ago). She currently also has watery eyes, eye goo , and is burping quite a bit. I hope you can offer me some advice. Thank you

Hello,

All the multisystemic complaints which you are telling or fitting into viral illness.

I will explain to you how a viral illness behave so that you can feel more confident.

Fever of a few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness.

Usually, rather than fever, what is more, important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day.

If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all.

Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
