<bot>: Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your daughters history and would make suggestions for her as follows:1. If she gets fever and cough-cold every 20 days, I would suspect one of the following:a. I would highly recommend you to measure fever by thermometer. If it is more than 101, then only I would think of infections, usually viral.b. If fever is in range of 99-100, cough-cold may not be because of infections, but because of allergic causes.c. I would like to know more about her like - whether she has any other symptoms, whether she has breathing difficulty anytime, whether she has headaches, any problems with urination or stomach, whether her appetite is good, whether her weight is ok or not, etc. These details would help me to think about more possible causes.2. Were I treating her, I would suggest her complete blood counts, ESR, CRP, serum total IGE levels, urine routine & microscopic examination. These are basic investigations which would give clues towards possible causes.3. At present, I would suggest her an antihistamine like levocetirizine and a cough syrup for 5 days, I would suggest you to complete course of the antibiotic (Chat Doctor. 4. I would also suggest her iron syrup and multivitamin supplements including folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin C to maintain hemoglobin around 13-14 go if it is not so. This will help her improve her immunity. Please consider iron and supplements only after her recovery and after her antibiotics are completed.5. I would suggest her good nutrition - adequate amounts of fluids, diet rich in vitamins & minerals (plenty of green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and sprouts, etc.) which will also improve her immunity.6. In general, I would suggest her to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to her. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your daughter the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
