Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about your son's illness. Please, can you explain exactly what has changed for you to say he is a lot worse?
From the information you have provided, I think you child is well covered for any possible ongoing infection. Being on a broad spectrum antibiotic like
augmentin which takes care of virtually all common bacteria infections of the lungs and ENT organs, there is little to be worried about again. The other thing that needs attention is the control of symptoms with appropriate drugs. Fevers,
vomiting, aches etc can be easily controlled with
Tylenol and chlopromazine syrup while the hydroxzine tackles the suspected
allergy. With this, am not too worried about the treatment. I just believe we need to address these symptoms.
However, the symptoms and finding of your child are very suggestive of a viral infection and antibiotics may not have really be indicated at this moment but it doesn't represent any concerning threat to the child.
Cough just makes the suspicion of a viral infection more likely. The humidifier would be of added advantage too.
In summary, your child is well treated against any potential infection. Stay calm and monitor response to treatment. New symptoms would be manage accordingly
It takes a while for all to return to normal. Just be patient. I wish him a speedy recovery. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. Thanks.
