Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have persistent fever which is due to viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get blood investigation done to check level 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 nimuslide 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
