Recurring fever with blocked nose, poor appetite, and gas in a 2-year-old usually indicates a viral URTI. The fever returning after paracetamol/ibuprofen is common in viral illness. Continue alternating both for fever control and ensure good hydration (ORS/water). Don't stop antibiotics mid-course if prescribed. Watch for danger signs: persistent high fever beyond 5 days, rash, labored breathing, or extreme lethargy.
Next Steps
Get the child physically examined by a pediatrician if no improvement in 24â48 hours or if any danger signs appear. Consult me on Practo for further guidance.
