She has ate little in the past 3 days, withe the third day the most shes eaten. Takes in some fluid. Complains she doesnt feel well.
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It is quite common for it to pain after severe cough. Do not worry. It seems to be a viral illness.  Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (Maximum ceiling dose 500 mg per dose) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
