Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that your kid is suffering from cold that is a
viral infection and taking alone
Acyclovir will not provide immediate relief..
I would suggest you that along with Acyclovir, you should make her
gargling with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a
glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution, give her a
combination of decongestant like
Phenylephrine,
mucolytic like Ambroxol
and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of
Acetaminophen and
Ibuprofen, do steam inhalations, avoid spicy and chilled foods, sip on
warm water throughout the day..
Give her appropriate rest..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
