Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of flare up of fever and cold which is probably due to viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. I would suggest you to take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug. Take nimesulide along with paracetamol as well. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get some routine blood investigation done. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
