Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son aryam is 5 years and 8 months weighs 18 kg. he is having fever since Friday and also have cough since Wednesday. I have taken him to a paediatrician and he has diagnosed it as viral infection. he is quiet active and playful when there is no fever. but have increased and noticeable coughing especially while eating and during sleeping. the existing doc says that its due to the viral infection. he had severe cough in the during 24-25th december 2013 and was administrated with antibiotic distaclor -125mg for 8 days. further was adviced for pentids -400 for next 30 days with asthalin and cetzene. he gets burning sensation in chest while coughing. there is some discomfort while breathing due to congestion. there is no flowing nose.
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having viral infection or mixed with bacterial infection. It is advisable to give him one course of antibiotic medicine for 5-7 days. If viral infection is there, gradually it will be alright but if there is mixed or bacterial infection is there there might be having risk of producing pneumonia if antibiotic not given. Give him cough suppressant syrup as well. Ok and take care.
