Recurrent fever in three year old boy
Hi Doctor,
My son is 3 year old and every 2-3 weeks he is suffering from high fever, cough and cold. This all started when he completed 2.5 year and started playschool.
Every month even after every 2-3 weeks we have to visit doctor. And doctor prescribed Sinarest plus for cold and fever and ascoril for cough and when fever reaches above 101 Meftal - P , this all medicines for three days and if not getting cured then starts antibiotics.
Could you please suggest are we taking right treatment and why is he getting sick every three weeks as we are so much worried or what could be done to improve immunity.

It's concerning that your son is experiencing frequent cold and fever episodes. Recurrent illnesses can be common in young children, especially after starting playschool, due to increased exposure to germs. Here are some steps to consider:
1. Review Hygiene Practices: Ensure thorough handwashing and teach him to cover his mouth while coughing or sneezing.
2. Strengthen Immunity: Balanced diet, regular sleep, and physical activity can boost his immune system.
3. Vaccination Check: Make sure all vaccinations are up to date for age-related immunity.
4. Monitor Illness Patterns: Notice any triggers or patterns that might indicate allergies or other underlying issues.
Next Steps
It’s essential to work closely with your pediatrician to manage his symptoms and possibly improve his resistance to infections. If there’s no improvement, further investigations might be recommended. Keep a record of his symptoms and treatments to discuss during your next visit.
Health Tips
Consult a Pediatrician: If infections persist, a detailed evaluation by a pediatric specialist might be necessary to rule out other causes. You may consider a teleconsult with me for detailed discussion. Thank you. Signing off. Dr. Shravan Reddy.
