Is It To Be Concerned About Cough, Mouth Soreness And Trout Pain When Having Ear Infection?

my son is 10,51 inches, and 79 pounds and had a fever Sunday morning of 103.3 with fever reducer it went down to normal temp. It then came back around 6 in the pm. and took a second treatment of fever reducer and it went down easily.About 10pm i took his temp and it went down to 96.3 I have been keeping an eye on him and he has been sleeping, sweaty and his body cold.I currently took his temp and it is down to 93.8. His temp has never been low before. I have 2 blakets on him to try and get him warm. He has been on antibiotics since friday for double ear infection and has been complaining about his trout hurting, stomach hurting,a bad cough, he has mouth sores and can't eat. What do I do? what could it be? whe do i worry about hte low temp?

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

don't worry ,fever in most of viral infections have sudden rise and fall below normal once we taken medicine

if there is no chills and rigors don't worry ,it wont cause any trouble

anyway ear infection wil be controlled by antibiotics to prevent secondary infection

just undergo some investigations like CBP. WIDAL,FEVER PROFILE
CHEST X RAY IFFEVER NOT SUBSIDE

Let him continue antibiotic till reports comes and antipyretics like paracetamol

along with above drugs add cough expextorant also .gentle doing mouthwash will help to relieve soreness of mouth .. ok

plenty of liquids orally is better than solids
low temperature generally upto certain extent nothing will harm the body.

clean the ear with jhoson buds if there is discharge ,, keep it clean
he will be normal shortly ..ok
