Hi dear
welcome to the HCM,
Child is suffering with RTI ,usually of viral in origin, which is quite common in this rainy season.
Antihistaminic and decongestant medicine on 8 hourly basis.
along with this paracetamol @ 15 mg / kg to be given 4 to 6 hourly for the relief of fever and headache,
Tepid water sponging when fever is high or do not respond to the medicine.
Take care of hydration and nutrition.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
