2018-02-27 20:46:24
Hello, My daughter is suffering from fever since last Friday..but the frequency is like more than 12 hours, once or twice it was below 12 hours ..I'm managing with p250 or meftal (if temp is 102+)..but since yesterday she is suffering with cough and running nose..yest evening her nose started bleeding alot, I somehow managed to stop the blood from nose by cold cloth and all..but I'm lil worried now, because one of my brother who is a doctor suggested me augmentin (im not sure about the spelling sorry for that)..another cusin of mine asked me to not use it as it is high dose of antibiotic..can you please suggest me what to do.

Most fevers in children are viral in origin and take 3-7 days to subside completely,antibiotic has no role in treatment. Give just steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. Keep giving medication for fever as you are. If not improving in 3 days,consult your paediatrician. Bleeding from nose is significant only if large in amount or very frequent.
