Fever cough and cold
My son is having cough and cold since more than a week. He was already on light Ayurvedic medication for cough but since the progress was not very good, We started off by giving homeopathy medicine after consulting a doctor. Today it would be the 4th day of homeopathy medicine. Within a day he started having running nose and cough seemed to be reduced. But since last 2 days he is having fever on and off and chest seems to be congested. Should I switch back to allopathy for quick relief?
If mild,just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down.
Use paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required.
If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like wheezing or breathlessness or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician asap.
