Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your kid is having symptoms of high fever which seems to be due to viral and co infection by bacterial organism and could be due to poor and compromised immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests redone and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should avoid giving your kid any cold beverages and any outside food. Give diet rich in fresh juices and fruits. Yes you can give Meftal syrup to child 3 ml dosage. You should give your child complete test and give plenty of water and fluids. You should take anti-allergic medication along with proper course of antibiotic along with Ibuprofen.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
