My son has high fever since yesterday, sore throat & bad cough. He is 10 & 1/2 yrs old, weight 27.5 kg.Doctor has given half tablet pacimol 650, 1 & 1/2 tab of pecef 100 in morning & 1 tablet of the same at night. In addition Ascoril D for cough. He says its a throat infection & will clear out after few days. My query is are these inflamed tonsils or simply a bad throat? Is it a viral or a bacterial infection? I am worried as the fever is high grade, ie. 103. Even after pacimol the fever wont reduce much...please help clarify...worried mom
