Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Syrup Azithromycin 10 mg per kilogram body weight per dose Once a day for three days will be a good antibiotic for upper respiratory tract infection.
Apart from it , I would also advise the following
1. Keep the Child warm and properly covered during journey
2. Syrup Paracetamol: Temperature of 98.9 is just slightly warm body temperature. Continue giving Syrup Paracetamol 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per dose, 3 -4 times a day for 2 days. It will also be helpful in relieving body pain associated during respiratory infection
3. Decoction: 1 cup of milk+ 10 Tulsi leaves(if available)+ 1 spoon Turmeric+ 2 gm of fresg ginger+ 4 black pepper+ 2 spoon sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it. Make the quantity appropriate for volume of thermos flask. Give him warm to drink during journey, it will have soothening effect on cough.
4. Continue Relet Syrup
Wishing you happy Journey.
Do write directly to me if you need any further assistance anytime.
Take Care
Wishing him speedy recovery
