My baby has been suffering from fever for 3 days, and he is coughing a little bit also. He had fever on february, then doctor had given him monocef ocv 100/62.5, 2.5 ml two times a day..then my baby was 1 year 3 moths old..Now he is 1 year 6 months old..I did not visit doctor this time..This two days I have given him same dose but fever is not going away fully..After 5 hours of using paracetamol, fever is returning again..Today I wanted to make an appointment to my doctor..But he is absent today..I have got appointment for tomorrow..Now I don't understand if I have to increase monocef ocv doses or not so that my baby will get rid of fever soon.. please help me
The probable diagnosis of the illness comes from symptoms other than fever.
Next Steps
Antibiotics needed if it's a bacterial infection. For viral fever paracetamol alone is enough.
