Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of persistent fever and dry cough which is due to respiratory tract infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get blood investigation done to check level of infection. Get X-ray chest and pulmonary functional tests done to find out exact cause of infection. You should apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. You should take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. Take nimesulide along with paracetamol as well.Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
