Kid having severe cold and high fever
My daughter 7 years, 23kg weight, is having severe cold and high fever with shivering since 1 week and is on medication. Since 2 days, she is having blood in mucus and while spitting phlegm. Doc took xray of chest and said no infection is found. However, still blood in mucus and phlegm is continuing even today. Fever has started reducing since yesterday. But she is afraid of seeing blood in nose mucus and in phlegm. Attaching xray for reference. Please advise why it is happening for 3rd consecutive day

Blood in phlegm may be due to forceful coughing. It may be normal if there are too thick secretions and dryness in nose.
Viral infection may take 5-7 days to settle. You can just start anti allergics like Montair LC kid SYP and nebulise with hyperneb 2-3 times a day.
Xray is normal, so no need for any antibiotics if fever has started to decline.
Keep your child hydrated, start anti allergics and hyperneb nebulization
