Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns.
Fever for 3 days with episode of nose bleed can occur in Upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, pharyngitis or lower respiratory tract infection.
- In upper respiratory tract infection, fever is present and cough is also present. History of throat pain can be present.
- In sinusitis, fever is present and headache is also present.
- In pharyngitis, fever and throat pain is present.
- In lower respiratory tract infection, fever, cough and chest congestion is present.
Kindly do complete blood count, CRP levels and X ray chest.
An examination by ENT specialist doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding.
Continue paracetamol syrup for fever in dose of 15 mg /kg per dose orally.
Review back with above reports.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
