Our three year old daughter has a 102 fever, congestion, red watery eyes, complains of eyes hurting and is very irritable and crying a lot. She had had colds, but this seems worse. Went to pediatrician today and was examined and told to monitor fever and if it doesn t go down by Sunday, to come back. Is this something more than a cold that we should be concerned about?
Hi Dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Child had contacted with severe viral infection leading to such symptoms. He requires to be given antihistamines decongestant medicine along with paracetamol @ 15 mg per kg 4 to 6 hourly basis. Take care of the HY Chat Doctor. Steam inhalation helps a lot. Hope the fever should wash of in 2 to 3 days time. Hope the query is answered, .thanks
