Suggest Treatment For Recurring Fever And Cough In A Child
My son is 4 years(18Kg) old. He is having fever around 99-100F and having frequent cough for last 2 days. He has been given Ambrolite Levo Syp 3.5 ml and Sinarest AF Syp 3 ML. Does he need to take any antibiotic. The Pediatrician to whom we visit for my son s illness is out of town so I am asking for opinion.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Fever along with cough suggests infection.
I usually prescribe Amoxycillin and clavulanate combination 2 times daily.
You may add paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose for control of fever.
All other medicines you may continue as prescribed by your doctor.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
