Small Child, Persistent Cold, Cough, High Fever. Taking Antibiotics For Throat Infection. Permanent Cure?
Hi This is regarding my 3 year 2 months old son He is always having cold and couph and then followed by high fever . Whenever we consult the Pediatrician , The doc says he is having throat infection. Last week also he had the same and after having anti-biotics the fever subsides but again since today morning he is having fever.

Hi,This happens in small kids of this age because they are exposed to other kids with infection in play school or nursery.
Also, we should remember every throat infection is not bacterial!!- sometimes may be viral and may not need antibiotic!!!!
A CBC ( blood test)will help in such times of doubt!He will get over from this by time. Do not worry!Give healthy food
Good luck
