My daughter have been battling with high fever since saturday so took her to our doc today, chest clear but red throat and ear so prescribed antibiotics. Since we got home, she is contantly coughing to the point of vomiting and her temp is back up to 40 after giving paracetamol 1/2 hour ago. She is 2 years 10 months.
Hi... by what you say I feel that your daughter may be having viral illness which is gradually getting better. Usually when viral fever starts remitting there will be a lot of amounts of cough. Antibiotics or not to be used for viral illnesses unless we have a throat swab culture suggesting streptococcal sore throat. I suggest you to use only cough suppressants and that too only if the coffee is disturbing her sleep and daily activities. As she is almost 3 years old you can use promethazine syrup which is available as Phenergan. But this is a prescription Chat Doctor. Regards -
