Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your son's history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:

1. Viral fever usually takes 3-7 days and then subsides by itself. There is no specific medicine for viral fever. So as long he as fever, I would suggest him paracetamol (P125).

2. If he has not developed any new symptom after starting treatment, I would suggest you to wait and give him medicines a suggested by your doctor. If he has developed any new symptom or his symptoms have been worsened, I would suggest you to get him examined by his doctor.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish your son the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
