my son was having running nose cough last whole week. we gave cheston cold syrup and calpol to him and he was better. today he is complaining of headache( pointing above left ear) and now slight fever is there. should we take him to any hospital emergency?
Hello dear, welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Fever and pain around ear following a cold may indicate infection of the middle ear and may need treatment with antibiotics and antihistamines. So it will be fine if you could visit your doctor(though not emergency) so that we can have the correct diagnosis and treat accordingly. Meanwhile, you can give paracetamol for pain and head ace(for dose we need age and weight of the child)Hope this answer will help. Thank you.
