Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cold, fever and shivering in spite of giving Mox Redimix which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Well virus infection usually go away in few days by its own , but sometimes when infection become severe and it needs medical attention. Need not to worry. You should take antiviral along with antibacterial syrup to suppress infection. For now take steam twice a day to relieve the congestion and drink warm water with one spoon honey in it . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test , CT scan and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe anti viral acyclovir, antibacterial amoxicillin, decongestant along with anti inflammatory.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
