How To Treat Throat Infections In Children S?

my 6 year old a month ago had upper respiratory tract infection, was treated with antibiotics, within 10 days or less she suffered from urinary tract infection with high fever, treated with taxim for 10 days, urine culture showed staph aureus. She had pus cells 8-25 and epithelial 1-2. Now after two weeks she again had very high fever every 4-5 hrs. Urine test showed pus cells 1-2 but squamaous and transitional epithelial cells 8-10. Also to subside her fever we used crocin and meftal as advised. She has throat infection and treated wiith Augmentin. She also threw up and once also some small amount (5mL) of blood. Could that blood be effects of crocin and meftal?

Hi....Crocin will not cause this, but Meftal can cause this as it is a NSAID drug and gastritis is a common side effect of NSAID drugs.

Meftal contains Mefenamic acid which is a NSAID. It carries the risk of gastritis and renal problems in the long run. Please do not use Meftal.
