Suggest Medication For Loss Of Appetite And Runny Nose In Infants

13M month old has been kind of cranky since coming home from daycare. Loss of appetite, cranky, then just woke up 10 min. ago with 101.3 fever. In between this he ran into the side of the dresser that left a big bruise. No coughing or sneezing, a little runmy nose w/thick micus. What to do?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi

Welcome to the HCM
In my opinion, your child is probably suffering from a viral illness. Its usually associated with fever, running nose, poor appetite and lethargy.
You can give him Syrup Acetaminophen for fever at 15-20mg/kg dose for fever. Also do sponging to bring down the fever.
Start an antihistaminic for running nose such as Syrup Maxtra or Syp. T-minic 2.5 ml thrice daily.
In case the child does not show any improvement even after 2 days of treatment, consult a pediatrician for physical examination and further management.

For further questions, do contact us.
