Suggest Remedy For Low Grade Fever With Green Mucus In Infants
My daughter has had a low grade fever (99.5) for 3 days and has thick green mucous which has been going on for weeks. She seems miserable. Is there anything more I can do for her at home or should I take her in again? She is 3 and has already been through one round of antibiotics, which cleared temporarily, but returned with a vengeance.
You should give her acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup every eight hours to relieve the fever. The green mucus may be caused by a viral infection that won't require an antibiotic. But if the symptoms persist more than five days, you might need to add an antibiotic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
