Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Your daughter is probably having acute respiratory tract infection giving rise to this problem.

Advent is very good respiratory tract antibiotic and within a day or two she will start showing improvement. You can start it and also Tixylic. Meanwhile give paracetamol syrup as and when required for fever. Continue giving Tixylic syrup as well.

She shall be fine soon.

Hope, I answered your query. If you have further query or clarification, please ask. I will be happy to help.

Wish your baby speedy recovery.
