What Is The Treatment For High Fever And Chest Congestion In A Child?
My 5 year old has had a fever as high as 103.5 and chest congestion for 4 days now, and now my 3 year old who has been on amoxicillin for 5 days is developing a fever of 103.3 and congestion and sneezing. My husband came home from work coughing and sneezing as well and now my chest feels real heavy and congested. Any suggestions or is there anything going around that I should be aware of?

Hello,
Probably it is seasonal viral respiratory tract infections. With 5 days of Amoxicillin and other medications your child must have started feeling better. If there is no improvement and your child is getting drowsy and lethargic, not eating or drinking, becoming breathless then you should consult your doctor and ask for blood tests and other investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
