Suggest Medicine For Fever, Runny Nose In My Baby
My daughter is 17 months and has eaten barely anything the past 8 days (usually a very good eater) and is sleeping 15-16 hours day. Two nights she had a fever and also has a runny nose and recently started coughing. She has also had two almost black poops the last few days. Any suggestions?

YOur concern of not eating can be due to presnt infective process when appetite is reduced in all.So also the excessive sleeping is part of tired ness from cold and fevr.As she has coughing also a chest infection and antibitic will be needed. I would check Blood RE and X ray chest if needed and start appropriate antibiotic. By black 'poops' did you mean black potty/stools ? Which could be colour of the medication if you are giving any or minor abrasion in the anus that comes as motion is likely to be hard as she is not eating and drinking,.YOu can discuss with your doctor for guidance.
