Suggest Treatment For Fever And Severe Cough In A Child
Brief Answer:
Coriminic can be given
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. It usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. If your child is otherwise active and playful, I would not be concerned.
Coriminic Syr (Pseudoephedrine) can be given 5 ml twice daily. If your child has fever with temperature more than 100°F, you need to give paracetamol (Crocin DS) 3.5ml to bring down. Also use tepid sponging. The minimum gap between two doses of Crocin is 4-6 hours. The doses of Crocin and Coriminic are independent of each other.
Giving steam inhalation to your child helps in reducing the congestion. Water vapor will reach deep inside and would help in diluting the cough and thus would provide relief. Use Nasoclear saline nasal drops in case of nose block.
Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
