Suggest Treatment For Cold And Fever

Hello doctor, My 3 year old son has a cold and fever. He had 101 F temperature for which I have given him 5 ml dose of Ibuprofen for children just 10 mins back. He has a blocked and runny nose so he can't sleep. Can I give him 2.5 ml dose of T-minic ( chlorphenamine maleate & phenylephrine hydrochloride syrup) now?

Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
He can be given antihistaminic and decongestant medicines like t-minic you mentioned but 5 ml.
Antipyretic like paracetamol every 4 hourly in full doses.
Nasal saline drops can be poured.
Steam inhalation will be of help.
Better to consult your pediatrician to get the exact evaluation and prescription.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
