Suggest Treatment For Sore Head And Sore Eyes

I have a 2 y/o who has been unwell for 3 days! Started with a bad cough, then got runny nose, high temps, has been refusing food but has been drinking water! Deteriorated today crying all morning complaining of sore head, sore back and sore ears, so I took her to doctor who said she had a double ear infection and a throat infection and prescribed antibiotics. She also sent to to get a nose swab to rule out influenza and just said if she gets worse to take her to the hospital. now she keeps crying again saying her eyes are really hurting. Do I need to be concerned about the sore eyes, teamed with the other symptoms?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for consulting in HealthCareMagic. I understand your concern. Your daughter is suffering from an infection which is very similar to common cold. Since the problem is in her throat, the internal connection between the throat and middle ear got disturbed thus affecting her ear. The throat is also connected to the sinuses and due to sinusitis pain behind the eyes is noting unusual and hence she is complaining about eye pain. But ultimately all these are manifestations of the same single infection.

You need not get concerned at the moment. Follow the advice of the doctor. It would be preferrable to make your child gurgle with lukewarm water. You may add disprin dispersible tablet in order to reduce her pain. Some antialleric like levocetirizine should also be helpful.

Hope my answer is helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. Wish your kid good health.
