My daughter got 104F fever yesterday. I gave crocin suspension but within 3-4 hours the fever is coming back to 101-102F. Please advise. I checked with doctor and he said viral infection.

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, Usually only paracetamol is given for viral and supportive treatment is given in addition such as proper diet and plenty of water for the child and anti-cough(depending whether the child has sputum or not)and something for nose as well,whether child has runny nose or not. Antibiotic is usually prescribed along with it so that child does not get any other infection. I think it should already have been prescribed to you. Can you write what prescription was given? ...

You probably have a Dental Infection Foci in the mouth and that is the cause of trouble. A good dentist will be able to remove the dental phobia you have as dental treatments now are free of pain and discomfort. If you have no childhood fear of dentist and now you are grown up then try to the understand the various dental instruments and their uses, this will remove THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN and remove the myth that dentistry is painful. This oral infection may cause various health problems at oth ...

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, The history you have given to me suggests that she got fever and infection since 5 days or may be a little more which has also affected her kidneys as that shows albumin in urine. Tlc is not significant in kids, and exactly it can be told only by blood culture,but we can wait and see is she responding to drugs or not and if she does not respond then we can get a culture done. The blood indices should be done in more details so as to know the cause why rbc's are microcytic and hypochromic. A ...

Baby is suffering from cold and more importantly cough since past 2 days. Doctor has prescribed T-minic drops 0.5 ml oral for 3 days and post to which cough didnot subside, then to use Kufril drops 0.5 ml thrice a day. However on using first instance of T-minic baby had pooped 4 times (Can be because he was on antibiotics just a week back for ear infection. His stools were more in number atleast twice after every feed. But once medicnes are stopped his stools were back to normal and he poops only once a day). and also his cough has increased very much. His feeding routine got slightly distrubed as he is not able to complete the bottle with ease. He leaves an ounce or so sometimes due to stuffy nose or congestion. Are these medications safe for a 5 month old baby? if not what precautions to be taken to soothe him from cough and cold?
