Diheria. Taken Menopheom Injection. Throat Infection, Fever. Given Nebulaiser Cepodem 50. Still Persists. Cure And Treatment?

This is Ujjwal from Kolkata,India. My 7 months daughter has gone thorugh diheria 1 wk ago. She has admitted hospital for 5 days where she has taken 4 menopheom injection through salign for diheria. Now, again she has faced throat infection, fever and breathing trouble. Her paed suggests Nebulaiser twice in a day with Cepodem 50, Viscodyne syrup, Calpol 120 syrup. But still she is not feeling good. When fever is coming it persists 4-5 hours(avg. 100.4). PAED is saying it will take 5-7 days. Baby can't sleep. she is crying.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Seems your daughter has been unlucky in suffering from two consecutive illnesses recently.
Small kids when not well are generally cranky and loose appetite.

In your daughter's case
*if the fever doesn't subside in 3 days post starting the medication .
*if she has starts breathing heavily with chest indrawing.
*if she is not feeding well and passing inadequate urine.
Then get her reassessed so that investigations and treatment tailored according to the findings.

Regards.
